he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,

then he opens the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings,

He whispers in their ears and terrifies them with warnings.

he uncovers their ears and terrifies them with warnings,

Then He opens the ears of people, And horrifies them with warnings,

Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction.

Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,

He uncovers their ears at that time and terrifies them with warnings,

Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

Then he gives a revelation to people, and terrifies them with warnings,

Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,

He makes them listen when he corrects them. He commands them to turn away from the evil things they’ve done.

But God saves suffering people while they suffer. He speaks to them while they are hurting.

You didn’t want sacrifices and offerings. You didn’t require burnt offerings and sin offerings. You opened my ears so that I could hear you and obey you.

The Lord and King has unplugged my ears. I’ve always obeyed him. I haven’t turned away from him.

One of the women listening was from the city of Thyatira. Her name was Lydia, and her business was selling purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to accept Paul’s message.

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

Make the hearts of these people stubborn. Plug up their ears. Close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes. They might hear with their ears. They might understand with their hearts. And they might turn to me and be healed.”

“ Lord who rules over all, you are the God of Israel. Here’s what you have shown me. You told me,‘ I will build you a royal house.’ So I can boldly pray this prayer to you.

I want to finish my task. I want to make sure that the poor in Jerusalem have received this offering. Then I will go to Spain. On my way I will visit you.

“ So we are making a firm agreement. We’re writing it down. Our leaders are putting their official marks on it. And so are our Levites and priests.”

You have not heard or understood what I said. Your ears have been plugged up for a long time. I knew very well that you would turn against me. From the day you were born, you have refused to obey me.
