If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
Indeed God does not hear an empty cry; Shaddai pays no attention to it.
Be careful, do not turn to iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
Adonai is far from the wicked, but hears the prayer of the righteous.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Adonai, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, will also cry out but not be answered.
One who turns his ear from hearing Torah —even his prayer is an abomination.
When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. When you multiply prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood!”
We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners; but if anyone fears Him and does His will, He hears this one.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives so you may spend it on your passions.
