For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:
but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
IF you live and dwell with your neighbors peacably and your wife as well, God's EARS are open to your prayers.
What is the opposite of that? Be an arrogant troublemanker stirring up continual strife with the neighbors or a brawler with your wife and family and GOD will not hear ANYTHING you pray... The face of The Lord is AGAINST them that do evil..
