Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
You ask, and receive not; because you ask amiss: that you may consume it on your concupiscences.
And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.
The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.
The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
