(biblical)

Jer 11:11

Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will surely bring calamity on them which they will not be able to escape; and though they cry out to Me, I will not listen to them.Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble…So do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me." because of their trouble.
