Matthew 9:10

Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.

Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men.

They cried, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”

Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!

Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.

When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”

Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who call on his name. They called on Yahweh, and he answered them.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

They were arrogant, and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

Yahweh said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”

The sin of the young men was very great before Yahweh; for the men despised Yahweh’s offering.

When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.

and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens.

If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.

Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”

“Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says Yahweh of Armies.

But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.

But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey—no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two coats each.

Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

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.

So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.

On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.

He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”

and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked

but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having in the same way as these given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are shown as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh”.

Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”

Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in Yahweh’s sight. So Yahweh killed him.

The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals.

and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.’

He made his son to pass through the fire, practiced sorcery, used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards. He did much evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’ ”
