¹⁴ Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

²⁸ Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

¹⁵ 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.

² But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
