(40-42) THE PERORATION.
(40) Let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open. — Comp. 2 Chronicles 6:20, supr., and 2 Chronicles 7:15; also 1 Kings 8:52.
And let thine ears be attent. — Attentive, listening (qas‘s‘ûbôth). The same phrase recurs (2 Chronicles 7:15), which is, in fact, a repetition of the whole verse in the shape of a Divine promise, Qas‘s‘ûbôth occurs, besides, only in the late Psalms 130:2.
The prayer that is made in this place. — See margin. “The prayer of this place” is a strange phrase, only occurring here and in 2 Chronicles 7:15.
