TSK · Proverbs 15:29

Why, LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you pay no attention during times of trouble?

The LORD pays attention to the godly and hears their cry for help.

If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Though the LORD is exalted, he looks after the lowly, and humbles the proud from far away.

The LORD abhors the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.

But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers.

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is devout and does his will, God listens to him.

that you were at that time without the Messiah, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer. But the Lord’s face is against those who do evil.
