| He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. | When one will not listen to the law, even one's prayers are an abomination. |
| He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. | No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. |
