The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. (Proverbs 15:29)

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? / The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
