On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This intimates his readiness and willingness to hear prayer; he lays his ear, as it were, to the mouth of prayer, to hear it, though it be but whispered in groanings that cannot be uttered. He hearkens and hears, Jer. viii. Yet it implies, also, that it is wonderful condescension in God to hear prayer; it is bowing his ear.
