Isaiah 28:23

23 auribus percipite et audite vocem meam adtendite et audite eloquium meum

Isaiah 28:23 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 28:23

Give ye ear, and hear my voice
So said the prophet, as the Targum introduces the words; and because what he was about to say was of importance, and delivered in a parabolical manner, and required attention, he makes use of a variety of words to the same purpose, to engage their attention:

hearken, and hear my speech;
now about to be made; listen to it, and get the understanding of it.

Isaiah 28:23 In-Context

21 sicut enim in monte Divisionum stabit Dominus sicut in valle quae est in Gabao irascetur ut faciat opus suum alienum opus eius ut operetur opus suum peregrinum est opus ab eo

22 et nunc nolite inludere ne forte constringantur vincula vestra consummationem enim et adbreviationem audivi a Domino Deo exercituum super universam terram

23 auribus percipite et audite vocem meam adtendite et audite eloquium meum

24 numquid tota die arabit arans ut serat proscindet et sariet humum suam

25 nonne cum adaequaverit faciem eius seret gith et cyminum sparget et ponet triticum per ordinem et hordeum et milium et viciam in finibus suis
