Tao Bible - Proverbs 28:9

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
~ King James version ~

When we lose track of the Way, we are indeed lost!
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
I suppose the Biblical injunction pivots on the definition of "the law." If Solomon means external laws (including religious ones), then I think that most Taoists would not agree. On the other hand, if Solomon means the laws of God -- for the Taoist, the laws of nature -- then we might find some limited agreement.

If you're interested in reading more from this experimental series, go to the Tao Bible Index page.
