When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The LORD's refusal to hear when 'you spread out your hands' because they are 'full of blood' supplies the negative counterpart to Paul's demand that hands be 'holy... without anger.' Lifted hands stained by violence are rejected; lifted holy hands are required. The condition of moral purity behind acceptable prayer is drawn from this oracle.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'When you spread out your hands I will hide my eyes... I will not hear' supplies the prophetic version of God refusing to hear sinners. It reinforces 9:31 alongside the psalm and proverb, broadening the 'God hears the righteous' axiom across Torah-Prophets-Writings.
