Hear and give ear.
Heare and give eare.
To hear is a natural act; a man that hath ears cannot choose but hear (unless he stop them) when any thing is spoken: but to give ear, is, as I may say, an artificial act, a studied act, yea a spiritual act,1 when the matter spoken of is spiritual. Elihu doth not call for a bare hearing of words, but for a studious hearing of the matter which should be presented to them; hear and give ear; or as the Elegance of the Hebrew may be rendered, ear my words: for the word which we render to give ear, signifies also the ear, ear my words. We say of a thing that we desire another would reach to us, pray hand it hither, putting the denomination of the Organ or Instrument upon the act; so by a like Elegance, it is here said, Ear my words; that is, hear studiously and diligently, with an holy art and skill. As there is an art in speaking, so there is a great, if not a greater art in hearing; ear my words, or, give ear to me ye men that have knowledge.

Elihu doth not call for a bare hearing of words, but for a studious hearing of the matter which should be presented to them; heare and give eare; or as the Elegancy of the Hebrew may be rendred, ear my words: for the word which we render to give eare, signifies also the ear, ear my words. We say of a thing that we desire another would reach to us, pray hand it hither, putting the denomination of the Organ or Instrument upon the act; so by a like Elegancy, it is here sayd, Ear my words; that is, heare studiously and diligently, with an holy art and skill. As there is an art in speaking, so there is a great, if not a greater art in hearing; ear my words, or, give eare to me ye men that have knowledge.
