when distress comes upon him?

15When you espread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;

I will not listen;
gyour hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 58:9-10

9Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away hthe yoke from your midst,
ithe pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 jif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
kthen shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.

James 4:3-4

3You ask and do not receive, because you ask lwrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 mYou adulterous people!
Greek  You adulteresses!
Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? oTherefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
