Acts 19:18

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

For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”

The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.

Pray without ceasing.
