Lamentations 3:44

Lam 3:44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.

Ver. 44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud. ] Hid thy face from us, and secreted thyself as a judge doth when he hath passed sentence upon a malefactor, that he may not be solicited to reverse it.

That our prayers should not pass through. ] The veil of the temple was of no debarring matter, but thin and pervious, that the incense might easily pass through it into the Holy of holies: but now it was otherwise; God had set a bar between him and his people.
