'Prayers' in the Bible

When you spread out your hands in prayer, I look the other way; when you offer your many prayers, I do not listen, because your hands are covered with blood.

When the Moabites plead with all their might at their high places, and enter their temples to pray, their prayers will be ineffective!

The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and then healing them. They will turn to the Lord and he will listen to their prayers and heal them.

The oppressed and the poor look for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched from thirst. I, the Lord, will respond to their prayers; I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them.

But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers.
