He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer[ shall be] abomination.

Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for[ there is] no answer of God.

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with[ their] lips; but their heart is far from me.But in vain they do worship me, teaching[ for] doctrines the commandments of men.

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or[ that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.Thou sittest[ and] speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.These[ things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether[ such an one] as thyself:[ but] I will reprove thee, and set[ them] in order before thine eyes.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

The sacrifice of the wicked[ is] an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright[ is] his delight.

God[ is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship[ him] in spirit and in truth.

Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

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.

For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel?[ As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

The sacrifice of the wicked[ is] abomination: how much more,[ when] he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I[ am] the LORD.
