Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise — apply your mind to my knowledge —
Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, And apply thy heart unto my knowledge.
Let your ear be bent down for hearing my words, and let your heart give thought to knowledge.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 17–21
To these words, to this knowledge, the ear must be bowed down, and the heart applied by faith and love. To live a life of delight in God and dependence on him, is the foundation of all practical religion. The way to know the certainty of the word of truth, is to make conscience of our duty.
