And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Even though you multiply prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer you.

And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.

The righteous cry out, and Jehovah hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

Delight yourself also in Jehovah, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

and call on Me in the day of trouble; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

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

Surely God has heard; He has given attention to the voice of my prayer.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

I called upon YAH in distress; YAH answered me and set me in a broad place.

Then you shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

And he went in to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I. Who are you, my son?

that Jehovah called, Samuel. And he answered, Here am I!

And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for you called me. He answered, I have not called, my son; go back and lie down.

And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am, for you did call me. Then Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy.

Of whom do you make sport? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, a seed of deception,

winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, pointing with his fingers.

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

No one calls for justice, nor does anyone plead for truth; they trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.

They speak vanity each one with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have spoken vanity and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, declares the Lord Jehovah.

For the family idols speak iniquity, and the diviners have seen a lie and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore they wandered like sheep. They were troubled because there was no shepherd.
