Deuteronomy 31:17-18
31:17 At that time
my anger will erupt against them
and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome
them
so that they
will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters
overcome us
because our
God is not among us
?’
31:18 But I will certainly
hide myself at that time because of all the wickedness they
will have done by turning to other gods.

13:24 Why do you hide your face
and regard me as your enemy?
Job 34:29
34:29 But if God is quiet, who can condemn him?
If he hides his face, then who can see him?
Yet he is over the individual and the nation alike,
Isaiah 64:7
64:7 No one invokes your name,
or makes an effort to take hold of you.
For you have rejected us
and handed us over to our own sins.

18:17 I will scatter them before their enemies
like dust blowing in front of a burning east wind.
I will turn my back on them and not look favorably on them
when disaster strikes them.”

9:12 Even if they raise their children,
I will take away every last one of them.
Woe to them!
For I will turn away from them.
