Therefore will I also deal in fury, &c.] Being provoked by such abominable idolatries, and such horrid insolence, and most contemptuous treatment: mine eye shall not spare: neither will I have pity: (see <260511>Ezekiel 5:11 7:4,9); and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice; very pressingly and earnestly for help, being in great distress: [yet] will I not hear them; as they turned their backs on him, he will turn a deaf ear to them, and not regard their cries. The Targum is, “they shall pray before me, with a great voice, and I will not receive their prayer.”
