Not only will God not answer such "empty cries", that is cries that simply want relief, but obviously God will not answer Job who has even complained that God does not see what is happening (Job 9:11; Job 23:8-9; Job 33:10). Nonetheless, Job's case is before God, but Job must be patient and wait for an answer. Job had made the mistake of thinking that he has the "right" to expect or demand an answer from God any time that something does not seem right and that he has the right of relief from suffering.
