He will certainly be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will (G)answer you. 20 Although the Lord has given you (H)bread of deprivation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher, will no longer (I)hide Himself, but your eyes will see your Teacher. 21 Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the (J)way, walk in it,” whenever you (K)turn to the right or to the left.

Prayer and the Golden Rule
7 “[a](A)Ask, and (B)it will be given to you; [b]seek, and you will find; [c]knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what person is there among you [d]who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, [e]will give him a stone? 10 Or [f]if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 So if you, despite being [g]evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, (C)how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
