"Therefore do not pray for this people…" Did I read that correctly?

Jeremiah 7:16-17(NKJV)

16“Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. 

17Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 

Isn't that interesting.  Here is an example where God actually tells us not to pray for someone.  And why does he say not to pray for them?  Because He, God, will not hear. 

It seems these people have gone and pissed God off to the point that He is done with them. 

Now I'm not suggesting that we start deciding who to pray for and who not to pray for.  Not suggesting that at all.

What I am suggesting is that it appears that you can push God too far.  Like any good parent God may say "enough is enough!"

Something to think about.
