Micah 3:4

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

“Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.

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.”

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

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”

If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

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

When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.

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

Yahweh said to me, “Don’t pray for this people for their good.

It will happen, when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.” ’

While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.

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

Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yahweh. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yahweh’s.

You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and Yahweh will not answer you in that day.”

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

Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

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.

But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies. Your tongue mutters wickedness.

For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who gives birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, “Woe is me now! For my soul faints before the murderers.”

To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”

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.

“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.

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!

It is because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.

They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘Yahweh says;’ but Yahweh has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.

If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies: “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink;” he would be the prophet of this people.

Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’

He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’

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

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

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

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

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; for the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.

I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up a cry or prayer for them or make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.

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.”

Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’

because they didn’t obey Yahweh their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it or do it.

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

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?

while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:

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;

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

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 judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
