13 Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea;

the Almighty pays no attention to it.

13 Surely God will not hear vanity,

Neither will the Almighty regard it.

13 But it is wrong to say God doesn’t listen,

to say the Almighty isn’t concerned.

13 Surely God will not listen to empty talk,

Nor will the Almighty regard it.

13 God does not listen to their useless begging;

the Almighty pays no attention to them.

13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry,

Neither will the Almighty regard it.

13 Surely •God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

13 “Surely, God doesn’t listen to idle complaints. 

The Almighty doesn’t even pay attention to them. 

13 Indeed, God does not listen to empty cries,

and the Almighty does not take note of it—

13 Surely God does not hear an empty cry,

nor does the Almighty regard it.

13 “Surely God does not hear an empty plea,

and Shaddai does not regard it.

13 In fact, God doesn’t listen to their empty cries.

The Mighty One doesn’t pay any attention to them.

13 “Surely God will not listen to an empty cry,

Nor will the Almighty regard it.
