1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, incline thine ear to my understanding;
Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart unto my knowledge.
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of God.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him that overcomes, to him will I give of the hidden manna; and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives [it].
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
