If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable.
The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.
The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.
When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will no
And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer.
Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
