¹ Give ear, O heavens, to my voice; let the earth take note of the words of my mouth:

² Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.

²⁹ O earth, earth, earth, give ear to the word of the Lord!

⁷ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

¹¹ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

¹⁴ But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh.

²⁹ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
