He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.
The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable.
He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard.
Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.
The Lord will not afflict the soul of the just with famine, and he will disappoint the deceitful practices of the wicked.
The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.
Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no being: he that hath chosen you is an abomination.
When they fast, I will not hear their prayers: and if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not receive them: for I will consume them by the sword and by famine and by the pestilence.
