Proverbs 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to Jehovah; But the prayer of the upright is his delight. GOD can’t stand pious poses, but he delights in genuine prayers. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but he delights in the prayers of the upright. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. The LORD hates the sacrifice that the wicked offer, but he likes the prayers of honest people. The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him. The sacrifice of the wicked is hateful and exceedingly offensive to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight! It is despicable to the Lord when people use the worship of the Almighty as a cloak for their sin, but every prayer of his godly lovers is pleasing to his heart. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.
