Not Learned, But Listening

Tell me how else I can cleanse my house,
Without ruining all of creation?
What’s fuel for the fire must go in the fire,
Even if it had aspirations.

Therefore, consider carefully how you listen;
Whoever has will be given more.
You say you do not yet know my words;
But I tell you: “I am the LORD!”

The man who is willing to listen, I’ll use.
I’ll bring forth from his mouth a great sword.
Not a word he speaks I’ll let fall to the ground.
And his judgments will rule in the world!
