1:15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I look the other way; 1
when you offer your many prayers,
I do not listen,
because your hands are covered with blood. 2
8:17 I will wait patiently for the Lord,
who has rejected the family of Jacob; 3
I will wait for him.
59:2 But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God;
your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers. 4
64:7 No one invokes 5 your name,
or makes an effort 6 to take hold of you.
For you have rejected us 7
and handed us over to our own sins. 8
