My child, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
My child, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding,
Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.
My child, keep my words and store up my commandments with you;
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart.
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!”
making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding,
Which of you desires life and covets many days to enjoy good?
for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
