Pontiac Sunbird Battery Problem

The car won't crank or do anything, no lights or clicking sound of the solenoid is being made when the key is turned. We tried jumping the car but the same thing happened as before what could the problem be?

Bad cable connections. Use a test light or voltmeter and start at the battery measuring the voltage. Move the probes down the lines until you find where the voltage is missing. In particular, look at the smaller black negative wire where it bolts to the body.
