Jesus is emphasizing that what he has just said is important. You may need to use the second person. The word "ear" here is a metonym for either 1) the ability to hear his message. Alternate translation: "If anyone can hear what I am saying, let him listen carefully" or "Since you can hear what I am saying, listen carefully" or 2) the desire to listen and obey. Alternate translation: "If anyone is willing to listen, let him listen" or "Since you are willing to listen, listen" See how similar words are translated in [Mark 4:9](../04/09.md).
