The following scriptures give a glimpse of a rarely discussed part of the character of Almighty God.

"Then He said to me, Son of man... see the wicked abominations that they do here.
Then said He to me, Son of man, have you seen what (they)...do in the dark, every man in his [secret] chambers...?
...For they say, The Lord does not see us...
Then [the Spirit] said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it too slight a thing to... commit the abominations which they commit here... and turn back afresh to provoke Me to anger?
...Therefore I will deal in wrath; My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
(Ezekiel 8:8-9, 12, 17-18 AMP)

"And you treated as nothing all my counsel and would accept none of my reproof...
Then will they call upon me (Wisdom) but I will not answer; they will seek me early and diligently but they will not find me."
(Proverbs 1:25-28 AMP)

"And when you spread forth your hands [in prayer, imploring help], I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear...
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil, Learn to do right!
...Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured..."
(Isaiah 1:15-20 AMP)

"Yet they did not obey or incline their ear [to Me], but everyone walked in the stubbornness of his own evil heart...
...And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found...
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear My words...
Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I am bringing evil and calamity upon them which they will not be able to escape; though they cry to Me, I will not listen to them.
(Jeremiah 11:8-11 AMP)

"Then will they cry to the Lord, but He will not answer them; He will even hide His face from them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil."
( Micah 3:4 AMP)

"Thus says the Lord to this people: In the manner and to the degree already pointed out have they loved to wander; they have not restrained their feet. Therefore the Lord does not accept them; He will now [seriously] remember their iniquity and punish them for their sins. The Lord said to me, Do not pray for this people for their good. Though they fast, I will not hear their cry; and though they offer burnt offering and cereal offering [without heartfelt surrender to Me, or by offering it too late], I will not accept them. But I will consume..."
(Jeremiah 14:10-13 AMP)

"So it came to pass that as He cried and they would not hear [He said], So they shall cry and I will not answer, says the Lord of hosts, But I will scatter them..."
(Zechariah 7:13-14 AMP)

QUICK SUMMARY...

They do wicked abominations...in the dark, every man in his [secret] chambers.

Is it too slight a thing to commit the abominations which they commit and turn back afresh to provoke Me to anger?

You treat as nothing all my counsel and accept none of my reproof?

Everyone walks in the stubbornness of his own evil heart.

They refuse to hear My words.

They loved to wander.

They have not restrained their feet.

They cry to the Lord, but He will not answer them because they have made their deeds evil.

Do not pray for this people for their good.

BUT...

Put away the evil of your doings.
Cease to do evil.
Learn to do right!
Be willing and obedient.

REPENTANCE is the source of well-founded and genuine hope!

Some really good quotes about repentance...

"A true repentance shuns the evil itself, more than the external suffering or the shame."
-William Shakespeare

"As it is never too soon to be good, so it is never too late to amend; I will, therefore, neither neglect the time present, nor despair of the time past. If I had been sooner good, I might perhaps have been better; if I am longer bad, I shall, I am sure, be worse."
-Arthur Warwick

"Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves."
-Saint Augustine

"He that waits for repentance waits for that which cannot be had as long as it is waited for. It is absurd for a man to wait for that which he himself has to do."
-William Nevins

"If you would be good, first believe you are bad."
-Epictetus

"Repentance is a hearty sorrow for our past misdeeds, and a sincere resolution and endeavor, to the utmost of our power, to conform all our actions to the law of God. It does not consist in one single act of sorrow, but in doing works meet for repentance; in a sincere obedience to the law of Christ for the remainder of our lives."
-John Locke

"Repentance may begin, instantly, but reformation often requires a sphere of years."
-Henry Ward Beecher

"Repentance, to be of any avail, must work a change of heart and conduct."
-Theodore Ledyard Cuyler

"Repentance, without amendment, is like continually pumping without mending the leak."
-Lewis W. Dilwyn

"Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past - the best evidence of regret for them that we can offer, or the world receive."
-Tryon Edwards

"Sorrow for having done amiss is fruit­less if it issue not in doing so no more."
-Henry Home

"There is a greater depravity in not repenting of sin when it has been committed, than in committing it at first. To deny, as Peter did, is bad; but not to weep bitterly, as he did, when we have denied, is worse."
-Edward Payson

"To do so no more is the truest repentance."
-Martin Luther

"True repentance consists in the heart being broken for sin and broken from sin. Some often repent, yet never reform; they resemble a man travelling in a dangerous path, who frequently starts and stops, but never turns, back."
-Bonnell Thornton

MY FAVORITE...

"True repentance hates the sin, and not merely the penalty; and it hates the sin most of all because it has discovered and felt God's love."
-William Mackergo Taylor

"True repentance is to cease from sinning."
-Ambrose Saint
