'Pray' in the Bible

They do not pray to me, but howl in distress on their beds; They slash themselves for grain and new wine, but turn away from me.

And now they sin more and more,And make for themselves molten images,Idols skillfully made from their silver [as it pleased them],All of them the work of the craftsmen.They say of these [very works of their hands], “Let those who sacrifice kiss and show respect to the calves [as if they were living gods]!”
