¹⁸ Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.

³¹ and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

⁹ Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer `is' an abomination.

¹⁵ And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.

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

⁸ For what `is' the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?

⁹ His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him?

²¹ Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than `on' affliction.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked `is' an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright `is' His delight.

²⁹ Far `is' Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.

¹³ Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.
