Some will not hear at all, they are like the deaf adder (Psal. 48.4, 5.) that stoppeth her ear, which will not hearken to the voice of the charmer, charming never so wisely; The Prophet reproves such (Jer. 6.10.) To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear; behold their ear is uncircumcised and they cannot hearken; behold, the Word of the Lord is to them a reproach, they have no delight in it; they cannot hearken, that is, they will not; or they cannot hearken, that is spiritually and obedientially, though they have a natural, yet they have not a gracious ear, as the same Prophet (chap. 11.6, 7, 8.) upbraided them; yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear. This sinful deafness the Lord complained of also, (Psal. 81.8.) Hear O my people, (saith God) and at the 11 verse, My people would not hearken to my voice; Now as bad men will not hear at all to purpose; so the best seldom hear so well or to so good purpose as they ought and might. Men of heart or of understanding are sometimes slow of hearing, and may need to have their ear awakened.
