What does the Bible say about the seeing eye and hearing ear?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that both the seeing eye and the hearing ear are created by the Lord, symbolizing both physical and spiritual understanding.

In Proverbs 20:12, we read that 'the seeing eye and the hearing ear, the Lord hath made even both of them.' This emphasizes God's sovereign role in the creation of our physical senses and suggests a deeper spiritual meaning. Just as God has made our eyes and ears to function physically, He also imparts spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear His truth. The psalmist in Psalm 139:13 praises God for being 'fearfully and wonderfully made,' indicating an appreciation for the intricate design behind our senses, both physically and spiritually.
