If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;
We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.
If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.
The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. Your hands are full of blood!
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered.
Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction.
Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.
