For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Whosoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshiper of God, and does his will, him he hears.

You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it upon your lusts.
