Turn aside from self-righteousness..
He does not answer when men cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked. Indeed, God does not listen to their empty plea; the Almighty pays no attention to it.
Job 35:12,13 NIV

For all of us have become
like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds
are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
There is no one who calls on Your name,
Who arouses himself to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us
And have delivered us into the
power of our iniquities.
Isaiah 64:6,7 NASB
