¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

³¹ We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

⁹ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.

¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

³ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend `it' in your pleasures.

⁸ For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, When God taketh away his soul?

⁹ Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?

²¹ Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

²⁹ Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.
