For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And his ears open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil: The Lord sets His face against them, all of them, who do evil. There is no reason to believe that evil in the lives of God’s people is ever tolerated or overlooked (Isaiah 59:1-2). John 9:31 assures us that He hears those who do His will while Proverbs 28:9 says that "he that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination." We are not exempt.
