will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. 7 Show the wonder of your

Obedience Gen 4:6 "Why are you
angry?" the Lord asked him. "Why is your face so dark with rage? 7 It

1 Sam 15:22 Samuel replied (Saul), "Has the Lord as
much pleasure in your burnt offerings and sacrifices as in your obedience?
Obedience is far better than sacrifice. He is much more interested in your
listening to him than in your offering the fat of rams to him. 23 For rebellion
is as bad as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as bad as worshiping
idols. And now because you have rejected the word of Jehovah, he has rejected
you from being king." TLB

So speaks our Redeemer, who will save Israel from Babylon's mighty
power; the Lord Almighty is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5 "Sit in darkness
and silence, O Babylon; never again will you be called 'The Queen of Kingdoms.'

by letting them fall into your hands, O Babylon. But you showed them no mercy.

reign would never end, Queen Kingdom of the world. You didn't care a whit

to your servant. 29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that
it may continue forever in your sight; for you, O Sovereign LORD, have spoken,
and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever."
