Reading while wait What do people with itching ears want to hear? Without God’s wisdom, we all want to hear whatever will foster our own self-interests. An example of this is King Ahab, who wanted prophets to say what he wanted to hear — whether it was true or not (1Ki 22:5 – 8). People with itching ears will oppose sound doctrine because it doesn’t suit their own desires (2Ti 4:3). 1 Kings 22:5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “First seek the counsel of the Lord.” 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
