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?

There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

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.

Then shall you call, and the LORD shall answer; you shall cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness;

Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer a burnt offering and a grain offering, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves in an evil way in their deeds.

Therefore it has come to pass, that just as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, says the LORD of hosts:

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

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

Jesus said unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

I delight to do your will, O my God: yea, your law is within my heart.

Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.

Beloved, if our heart condemns us not, then have we confidence toward God.

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the people who stand by I said it, that they may believe that you have sent me.

And Abraham drew near, and said, will you also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

That be far from you to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from you: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:

And he spoke unto him yet again, and said, Suppose there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Suppose there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left speaking with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.

Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you restore her not, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.

And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, have you also brought tragedy upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.

Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he had come into the house of his god, sons that came forth of his own body struck him down there with the sword.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not turn toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

And the prayer of faith shall deliver the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.
