Proverbs 21:13

13 ^aWhoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor
will himself call out and not be answered.

Isaiah 1:15-16

15 When you ^bspread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
^ceven though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
^dyour hands are full of blood.
16 ^eWash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
^fcease to do evil,

Isaiah 58:7-11

7 Is it not ^gto share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
^hand not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 ⁱThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,
^jand your healing shall spring up speedily;
^kyour righteousness shall go before you;
^lthe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away ^mthe yoke from your midst,
ⁿthe pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
10 ^oif you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
^pthen shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
11 And the Lord will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be ^qlike a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

Zechariah 7:11-13

11 But ^rthey refused to pay attention ^sand turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear. ^{▼▼Hebrew and made their ears too heavy to hear} 12 ^uThey made their hearts diamond-hard ^vlest they should hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent ^wby his Spirit through ^xthe former prophets. ^yTherefore great anger came from the Lord of hosts. 13 ^z“As I ^{▼▼Hebrew he} called, and they would not hear, ^abso they called, and I would not hear,” says the Lord of hosts,

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 ^acFor the time is coming when people will not endure ^adsound ^{▼▼Or healthy} teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and ^afwill turn away from listening to the truth and ^agwander off into myths.
