And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
The LORD heard what you said when you spoke to me, and the LORD said to me, 'I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they have spoken is good.'
