Open your ears to my teachings, my people. Turn your ears to the words from my mouth.
Open your ears, and come to me! Listen so that you may live! I will make an everlasting promise to you— the blessings I promised to David.
Pay attention to me, my people. Open your ears to hear me, my nation. My teachings will go out from me. My justice will become a light for the people.
Why, O God, have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep in your care?
“Listen, my people, and I will speak. Listen, Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God!
Listen, you kings! Open your ears, you princes! I will sing a song to the Lord. I will make music to the Lord God of Israel.
Let the person who has ears listen!”
I have sinned against you, especially you. I have done what you consider evil. So you hand down justice when you speak, and you are blameless when you judge.
The Lord, the only true God, has spoken. He has summoned the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
Open your ears, and hear the words of wise people, and set your mind on the knowledge I give you.
