He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Ver. 15. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear] Let him attentively listen, not with that outward ear only, that gristle that grows upon his head: but let him draw up his heart to his ears, that one sound may pierce both at once. Thus hear, and your souls shall live, Isaiah 4:3. A heavy ear is a singular judgment, Isaiah 6:10. The good Hebrews are taxed for their dull hearing, Hebrews 5:11. Such ears are likely to be forced open by correction, Job 33:16, and be made hear the rod, Micah 6:9. So that if they did but see their danger they would do as the prophet requires, "cut their hair and cast it away," under the sense of the horror of God's heavy displeasure, Jeremiah 7:24; Jeremiah 7:29 .
