Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous. The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous. The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. GOD keeps his distance from the wicked; he closely attends to the prayers of God-loyal people. The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayers of the righteous. The LORD does not listen to the wicked, but he hears the prayers of those who do right. The LORD is far from the wicked [and distances Himself from them], But He hears the prayer of the [consistently] righteous [that is, those with spiritual integrity and moral courage]. The Lord doesn’t respond to the wicked, but he’s moved to answer the prayers of his godly lovers. The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
