11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.
11 About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
11 I have a lot more to say about this, but it is hard to get it across to you since you've picked up this bad habit of not listening.
11 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
11 There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don't seem to listen.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Hebrews 5:11
Commentary on Hebrews 5:11-14
(Read Hebrews 5:11-14)
Dull hearers make the preaching of the gospel difficult, and even those who have some faith may be dull hearers, and slow to believe. Much is looked for from those to whom much is given. To be unskilful, denotes want of experience in the things of the gospel. Christian experience is a spiritual sense, taste, or relish of the goodness, sweetness, and excellence of the truths of the gospel. And no tongue can express the satisfaction which the soul receives, from a sense of Divine goodness, grace, and love to it in Christ.
