'Ears' in the Bible

“Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord,“I remember concerning you the devotion of your youth,The love of your betrothals,Your following after Me in the wilderness,Through a land not sown.

‘Now hear this, O foolish and senseless people,Who have eyes but do not see;Who have ears but do not hear.

To whom shall I speak and give warningThat they may hear?Behold, their ears are closedAnd they cannot listen.Behold, the word of the Lord has become a reproach to them;They have no delight in it.

Yet they did not listen or incline their ears, but stiffened their necks in order not to listen or take correction.

and say, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “Behold I am about to bring a calamity upon this place, at which the ears of everyone that hears of it will tingle.

But they did not listen or incline their ears to turn from their wickedness, so as not to burn sacrifices to other gods.
