Isaiah 37:17

Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.

Incline {H5186} thine ear {H241}, O LORD {H3068}, and hear {H8085}; open {H6491} thine eyes {H5869}, O LORD {H3068}, and see {H7200}: and hear {H8085} all the words {H1697} of Sennacherib {H5576}, which hath sent {H7971} to reproach {H2778} the living {H2416} God {H430}.

Turn your ear, ADONAI, and hear! Open your eyes, ADONAI, and see! Hear all the words that Sancheriv sent to taunt the living God.

Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to all the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.

Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to defy the living God.
