Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not hear.
Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than `on' affliction.
Far `is' Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.
The sacrifice of the wicked `is' an abomination to Jehovah, And the prayer of the upright `is' His delight.
Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He also doth cry, and is not answered.
Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer `is' an abomination.
And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.
and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;
ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend `it'.
