Listen carefully to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.
Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

Behold, I open my mouth; the tongue in my mouth speaks.
“Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me, you who know;
And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
