He that will not hear, will much less regard vanity. The sense is gradual, regarding is more than hearing, we may put both together, he will not hear with regard, nor regard what he hears from such. The strong God, who hath all power in his hand, the power of Authority, or the power of a Judge, will not hear vanity. The All-mighty, The All-sufficient, who hath all power of efficiency in his hand, the nourisher, and preserver, the punisher and correcter of all men;1 this Shaddai will not regard vanity, he will not give it a look with respect, no not one good look. The word signifies to fix, or set the eye with strong intention upon any thing or person. The Prophet Elisha spake to this sense, though he used ⟨p. 93⟩another word, when he said to the King of Israel, (2 King. 3.14.) Were it not that I regard the presence of the King of Judah, I would not look to thee, nor see thee. The Lord will not regard, he will not look to vanity, to the prayers of vain men, he will as it were shut his eyes, he will not see though he doth see; The Almighty will not regard it.
