(Some words not found in UHB: incline YHWH ear_of,your and,hear open YHWH eyes_of,your and,see and,hear DOM all/each/any/every words_of Şanḩērīⱱ which/who Shalah to,taunt ʼElohīm living_(creature) )

Hezekiah is speaking as if he wants Yahweh physically to Incline his ear, that is, to lean over the way someone would do to listen closely to someone who was located below him, such as a supplicant who was kneeling in front of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Listen carefully]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

הַטֵּ֨ה יְהוָ֤ה אָזְנְ⁠ךָ֙ וּֽ⁠שְׁמָ֔ע פְּקַ֧ח יְהוָ֛ה עֵינֶ֖⁠ךָ וּ⁠רְאֵ֑ה וּ⁠שְׁמַ֗ע

incline YHWH ear_of,your and,hear open YHWH eyes_of,your and,see and,hear

The phrases Incline your ear, hear, Open your eyes, see, and hear an imperatives, but they communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please incline your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Please open your eyes, Yahweh, and see. And please hear]
