9 He that is turning his ear away from hearing the law+—even his prayer is something detestable.+

15 And when YOU spread out YOUR palms,+ I hide my eyes from YOU.+ Even though YOU make many prayers,+ I am not listening;+ with bloodshed* YOUR very hands have become filled.+

18 And I myself also shall act in rage.+ My eye will not feel sorry, neither shall I feel compassion.+ And they will certainly call out in my ears with a loud voice, but I shall not hear them.”+

4 At that time they will call to Jehovah for aid, but he will not answer them.+ And he will conceal his face from them in that time,+ according as they committed badness in their dealings.+

13 “‘And so it occurred that, just as he called and they did not listen,+ so they would call and I would not listen,’+ Jehovah of armies has said.
