⁹ Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

¹³ Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

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.

¹² When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

⁸ Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

⁴ 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 ill in their doings.

³¹ Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
