My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
My son, attend unto my wisdom, And bow thine ear to my understanding:
Incline your ear, and come unto 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 thee.
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 unto wisdom.
While he yet spake, 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 ye him.
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, And apply thine heart to understanding;
What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good?
For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; They shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
