But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, that He will not hear.

Then Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward the heavens;

And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication unto Jehovah, that he arose before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to the heavens.

At the evening sacrifice I arose from my fasting; and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite when he is cut off, when God draws out his soul?

Will the Mighty God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?

Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest steals him away in the night.

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

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless Jehovah.

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

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

And He said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose.

Therefore I also will act in fury. My eye will not spare nor will I have pity; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.

Then they shall cry out to Jehovah, but He will not answer them. He will even hide His face from them at that time, because they have done evil in their doings.

Therefore it has come to pass that, just as He called, and they would not hear; so they called, and I did not hear, says Jehovah of Hosts.

When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He will answer and say to you, I do not know you, where you are from,

But He will say, I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.

I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;

Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, and that you should bring home the wandering poor? When you see the naked to cover him; and not hide yourself from your own flesh?

i1 [To the chief Musician. Neginoth. Maschil. A Psalm of David.] i0 par Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not Yourself from my supplication.

And when you pray, do not babble vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive more abundant condemnation.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, that He will not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has uttered perverseness.

Behold, you trust in lying words that are of no benefit.

and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all those abominations?

Now hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who abhor justice and pervert all equity,

Her heads judge for a bribe, and her priests teach for pay, and her prophets divine for money; yet they lean on Jehovah, saying, Is not Jehovah among us? No evil can come upon us.
