| He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. | When anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayer is detestable. |
| He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. | No one who conceals his transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and renounces them will obtain mercy. |
