9 If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
9 God has no use for the prayers of the people who won't listen to him.
9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
9 God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law.
