From a fully vowelled text
مَنْ يَسُدُّ أُذُنَيْهِ عَنْ صُرَاخِ الْمِسْكِينِ، فَهُوَ أَيْضًا يَصْرُخُ وَلاَ يُسْتَجَابُ.Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.Proverbs 21:13, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَحِينَمَا تُصَلُّونَ لاَ تُكَرِّرُوا الْكَلاَمَ بَاطِلاً كَالأُمَمِ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُ بِكَثْرَةِ كَلاَمِهِمْ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ.But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.Matthew 6:7, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
