15:8The
sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to Yahweh,
But the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Prayer is again likened to sacrifice.
Seeing that the prayers of the wicked are an abomination before Yahweh, and seeing also that we ought to pray regularly to Yahweh, it is implied that we ought to put away wickedness far from us. Such that we do not bring to Yahweh unholy offering - our prayers profaned with our wickedness. It is therefore imperative that we live upright and righteous lives.
15:29Yahweh
is far from the wicked,
But he hears the prayer of the righteous.
28:9He
who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
The prayers of those who turn their ears away from hearing the law are an abomination. Also, the prayers of the wicked are an abomination. It is therefore wickedness to turn one's ears away from hearing Yahweh's law.
Yahweh's servants should therefore be duly attentive to his law, and do it.
