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

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh 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 heareth the prayer of the righteous.

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

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

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

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
