³³ Take my teaching and be wise; do not let it go.

¹ Give ear, my sons, to the teaching of a father; give attention so that you may have knowledge:

¹ My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching:

⁸ My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:

² To have knowledge of wise teaching; to be clear about the words of reason:

³ To be trained in the ways of wisdom, in righteousness and judging truly and straight behaviour:

²⁵ See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

¹⁶ But they have not all given ear to the good news. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has had faith in our word?

¹⁷ So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

³⁵ This Moses, whom they would not have, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent to be a ruler and a saviour, by the hand of the angel whom he saw in the thorn-tree.

³⁶ This man took them out, having done wonders and signs in Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the waste land, for forty years.

³⁷ This is the same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among your brothers, like me.

¹ Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.

² Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.

³ Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

²¹ Her words are sounding in the meeting-places, and in the doorways of the town:

¹¹ But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.

¹² So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
