Pay attention and listen to my message! Be attentive and listen to what I have to say!

Come near, you nations, and listen! Pay attention, you people! The earth and everything it contains must listen, the world and everything that lives in it.

You have heard; now look at all the evidence! Will you not admit that what I say is true? From this point on I am announcing to you new events that are previously unrevealed and you do not know about.

If you have a willing attitude and obey, then you will again eat the good crops of the land.

“Listen, you deaf ones! Take notice, you blind ones!

Listen to me, you stubborn people, you who distance yourself from doing what is right.

He said, “Go and tell these people: ‘Listen continually, but don’t understand! Look continually, but don’t perceive!’

The king heard that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was marching out to fight him. He again sent messengers to Hezekiah, ordering them:

Pay attention, Lord, and hear! Open your eyes, Lord, and observe! Listen to this entire message Sennacherib sent and how he taunts the living God!

Who decreed this from the beginning, so we could know? Who announced it ahead of time, so we could say, ‘He’s correct’? Indeed, none of them decreed it! Indeed, none of them announced it! Indeed, no one heard you say anything!

All nations gather together, the peoples assemble. Who among them announced this? Who predicted earlier events for us? Let them produce their witnesses to testify they were right; let them listen and affirm, ‘It is true.’

How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains the feet of a messenger who announces peace, a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Why pay money for something that will not nourish you? Why spend your hard-earned money on something that will not satisfy? Listen carefully to me and eat what is nourishing! Enjoy fine food!

Eyes will no longer be blind and ears will be attentive.

You who are far away, listen to what I have done! You who are close by, recognize my strength!”

Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to the word of the Lord who commands armies:

He will not cry out or shout; he will not publicize himself in the streets.

You see many things, but don’t comprehend; their ears are open, but do not hear.”

Who among you will pay attention to this? Who will listen attentively in the future?

“Now, listen, Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen!”
