Shalt thou

And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.

O people, living in Zion, at Jerusalem, your weeping will be ended; he will certainly have mercy on you at the sound of your cry; when it comes to his ear, he will give you an answer.

And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.

The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.

So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:

When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

I made my prayer to the Lord in my trouble: and the Lord gave me an answer, and put me in a wide place.

And you will go on crying to me and making prayer to me, and I will give ear to you.

Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

My loved ones, if our heart does not say that we have done wrong, we have no fear before him;

Here

And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I: who are you, my son?

The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I.

The yoke

Is not this the holy day for which I have given orders: to let loose those who have wrongly been made prisoners, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the crushed go free, and every yoke be broken?

The putting

Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,

Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;

Speaking

For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.

Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.

So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.

For the images have said what is not true, and the readers of signs have seen deceit; they have given accounts of false dreams, they give comfort to no purpose: so they go out of the way like sheep, they are troubled because they have no keeper.
