2 Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.
Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.
The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.
And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.
But the Lord is in his holy Temple: let all the earth be quiet before him.
Give ear now to the words of the Lord: Up! put forward your cause before the mountains, let your voice be sounding among the hills. Give ear, O you mountains, to the Lord's cause, and take note, you bases of the earth: for the Lord has a cause against his people, and he will take it up with Israel.
O earth, earth, earth, give ear to the word of the Lord!
Give ear, O my people, to my words; O Israel, I will be a witness against you; I am God, even your God.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
Give ear, O heavens, to my voice; let the earth take note of the words of my mouth:
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you: There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.
But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.
Because they have done shame in Israel, and have taken their neighbours' wives, and in my name have said false words, which I did not give them orders to say; and I myself am the witness, says the Lord.
If I had need of food, I would not give you word of it; for the earth is mine and all its wealth.
<A Psalm. Of Asaph.> The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.
