He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.
We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.
The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: But he thrusteth away the desire of the wicked.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!
Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
