Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Lamentations 3:8

Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my (c) prayer.

(c) This is a great temptation for the godly when they do not see the fruit of their prayers and causes them to think that they are not heard, which thing God uses so that they might pray more earnestly and often.
