Job 33:16

He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.

Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
