The expression "vox populi, vox dei" is generally taken to mean "the
voice of the people is the voice of God."  What would be the latin for
"the ear(s) of the people are (is) the ear(s) of God"?

Dear jamzen-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. You are
corrct in that the expression "vox populi, vox dei" is generally taken
to mean "the
voice of the people is the voice of God." Allowing for a likewise
assumption, this is how the phrase would appear:

?Aures populi, auris dei? = ?Ears of the people, ear of God?

Alternatively?

?Aures populi, auris Domini? = ?Ears of the people, ear of the Lord?

I basically agree with the official answer, but wonder if perhaps the
phrase might better end "aures dei" or "aures Domini"--after all,
there doesn't seem to be a overwhelming reason why the phrase should
only refer to God's singular "ear" instead of plural "ears."

But that's more a mater of individual choice and style, surely...

Note that vox is a masculine noun, and auris is a feminine noun.

"Note that vox is a masculine noun, and auris is a feminine noun."

I'm not sure that's right. Aren't "vox" and "aruis" both feminine
third-declension nouns?

Not that it matters much, since there are no adjectives in these
phrases that would have to agree with the masculine/feminine/neuter
quality of the words.
