Jeremiah 13:17 ASV

Jer 13:17-But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride - Secret prayer. Weeping and lamenting are forms of prayer. There are those whose pride will not allow them to hear. There is no sense to speaking to those who will not hear. Yet, those who love the proud will pray in secret and weep and lament for them.
