My son, attend to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
My son, attend to my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
Incline your ear, and come to me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you.
Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him.
So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;
What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; they shall with be fitted in your lips.
