转身不听训诲的，他的祷告也是可厌恶的。

先见必抱愧，得默示的人要蒙羞；他们都必掩着上唇，因为没有神的答覆。

‘这人民用嘴唇尊敬我，心却远离我；他们把人的规条当作道理去教导人，所以拜我也是徒然。’”

在患难的日子，你呼求我。我必搭救你，你也必尊敬我。”但神对恶人说：“你怎么敢述说我的律例，你的口怎么敢提到我的约呢？至于你，你憎恨管教，并且把我的话丢在背后。你看见盗贼的时候，就乐于和他在一起；你又与行淫的人有分。你使你的口乱说坏话，使你的舌头编造谎言。你经常毁谤你的兄弟，诬蔑你母亲的儿子。你作了这些事，我默不作声；你以为我和你一样？其实我要责备你，要当面指控你。

约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人来到他施洗的地方，就对他们说：“毒蛇所生的啊，谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢？

恶人的祭物是耶和华厌恶的；正直人的祷告却是他所喜悦的。

神是灵，敬拜他的必须靠着圣灵按着真理敬拜他。”

扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却没有藉着梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。

你们来朝见我的时候，谁要求你们这样践踏我的院子呢？

“人子啊！这些人已经把他们的偶像接到心里去，把那陷他们在罪孽中的绊脚石放在自己面前，我怎能让他们向我求问呢？因此，你要告诉他们，对他们说：‘主耶和华这样说：以色列家的人中，凡把他的偶像接到心里去，把那陷自己在罪孽中的绊脚石放在自己面前，却又来见先知的，我耶和华必按他拜众多偶像的罪报应他，

约翰对那出来要受他洗礼的群众说：“毒蛇所生的啊，谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢？

所以你们张开双手的时候，我必掩眼不看你们；即使你们多多祷告，我也不听；你们的手都沾满血腥。

你们奉上供物，使你们的儿子经火，用你们的一切偶像玷污自己，直到今日。以色列家啊，我怎能让你们向我求问呢？主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓：我决不让你们向我求问。这是主耶和华的宣告。

恶人的祭物是耶和华所厌恶的，更何况是怀着恶念来献的呢？

因为以色列家的人中，或是在以色列寄居的外族人中，凡与我疏远，把他们的偶像接到心里去，把那陷自己在罪孽中的绊脚石放在自己面前，却又来见先知，要为自己求问我的，我耶和华必亲自报应他；我必向那人变脸，使他成为别人的鉴戒和讥笑的对象；我要把他从我子民中剪除；你们就知道我是耶和华。
