³ You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.

¹⁴ This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

²² and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save; Even to Yahweh, but he didn't answer them.

¹³ It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen," said Yahweh of Hosts;

²² But Jesus answered, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" They said to him, "We are able."

³⁸ But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

¹³ Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

¹ He also said to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

² He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

⁶ But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

⁷ For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

¹ Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?

⁴ Then they will cry to Yahweh, But he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, Because they made their deeds evil."

¹² When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

⁸ For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, When God takes away his life?

⁹ Will God hear his cry, When trouble comes on him?

¹⁰ Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call on God at all times?

¹⁸ If I cherished sin in my heart, The Lord wouldn't have listened.

¹⁹ But most assuredly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

²⁸ Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

⁸ The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

¹³ Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, He will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!

¹⁵ When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶ Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; Cease to do evil.

¹¹ Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

¹⁴ Therefore don't you pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.

¹² There they cry, but none gives answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
