DVAR TORAH “Listen, heavens, and I will speak; and may the earth hear the words of my mouth.” (Devarim 32:1) “Hear, heavens, and listen, earth...” (Yishayahu 1:2)
The midrash notes that the word “listen” (“ha’azinu”) implies that the listener is standing nearby, while the word “hear” (“tishmah”) implies a listener who is farther away.
Thus, Moshe, who was “closer” to the heavens than to earth, said “Listen, heavens... and let the earth hear,” while the prophet Yishayahu, was closer to earth than to heaven, reversed the pairings of the verbs and nouns.
However, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein zt”l explains that “Heavens” can also to the nation’s leaders, while “earth” refers to the common man.
In Moshe’s time, the leaders were righteous, and Moshe could speak to them and entrust them to carry his message to the people. In this sense, Moshe was close to the “heavens.”
However, Yishayahu lived in a generation whose leaders were evil (i.e. according to Brachot 10a, Yishayahu’s grandson, Menashe was the king who placed an idol in the Bet Hamikdash and killed his grandfather rather than listen to his rebuke.) Therefore, Yishayahu could not take his message to the leaders. Instead, he had to speak directly to the common folk. Yishayahu was close to the people - the “earth” and he spoke to them.
