17 So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.

14 But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher (messenger)?

9 He who has ears [to hear], let him hear and heed My words."

14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,

‘You will hearandkeep on hearing, but never understand;

And you will lookandkeep on looking, but never comprehend;

15 For this nation’s heart has grown hard,

And with their ears they hardly hear,

And they have [tightly] closed their eyes,

Otherwise they would see with their eyes,

And hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart, and turn [to Me]

And I would heal them [spiritually].’ [Is 6:9]

22 But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth].

22 But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth].

19 Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving];

19 Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, reflective, forgiving]; 20 for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us].

24 "So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock. [Luke 6:47-49]

24 "So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock. [Luke 6:47-49] 25 And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand.27 And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great and complete was its fall."

4 But Jesus replied, "It is written and forever remains written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’ " [Deut 8:3]

28 But He said, "On the contrary, blessed (happy, favored by God) are those who hear the word of God and continually observe it."

28 But He said, "On the contrary, blessed (happy, favored by God) are those who hear the word of God and continually observe it."

9 The things which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being will be with you.

1 I love the Lord, because He hears [and continues to hear]

My voice and my supplications (my pleas, my cries, my specific needs).

2 Because He has inclined His ear to me,

Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

6 In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the Lord

And cried to my God for help;

He heard my voice from His temple,

And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.

15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous [those with moral courage and spiritual integrity]

And His ears are open to their cry.

3 In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;

In the morning I will prepare [a prayer and a sacrifice] for You and watch and wait [for You to speak to my heart].

8 Make me hear joy and gladness and be satisfied;

Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.

8 Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,

For I trust in You.

Teach me the way in which I should walk,

For I lift up my soul to You.

14 This is the [remarkable degree of] confidence which we [as believers are entitled to] have before Him: that *if we ask anything according to His will, [that is, consistent with His plan and purpose] He hears us.

15 And if we know [for a fact, as indeed we do] that He hears and listens to us in whatever we ask, we [also] know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted to us] the requests which we have asked from Him.

12 Then you will call on Me and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear [your voice] and I will listen to you.

3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’

1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short

That it cannot save,

Nor His ear so *impaired

That it cannot hear.

27 The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.

24 "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the person who hears My word [the one who heeds My message], and believes and trusts in Him who sent Me, has (possesses now) eternal life [that is, eternal life actually begins—the believer is transformed], and does not come into judgment and condemnation, but has passed [over] from death into life.

25 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, a time is coming and is [here] now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will live.

20 Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me.

20 Behold, I stand at the door [of the church] and continually knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him (restore him), and he with Me.

4 You shall walk after the Lord your God and you shall fear [and worship] Him [with awe-filled reverence and profound respect], and you shall keep His commandments and you shall listen to His voice, and you shall serve Him, and cling to Him.

5 So then, does He who supplies you with His [marvelous Holy] Spirit and works miracles among you, do it as a result of the works of the Law [which you perform], or because you [believe confidently in the message which you] heard with faith?

13 He who answers before he hears [the facts]—

It is folly and shame to him. [John 7:51]

20 He who pays attention to the word [of God] will find good,

And blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired) is he who trusts [confidently] in the Lord.

20 My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction)

And do not *reject the teaching of your mother; [Eph 6:1-3]

17 He who learns from instruction and correction is on the [right] path of life [and for others his example is a path toward wisdom and blessing],

But he who ignores and refuses correction goes off course [and for others his example is a path toward sin and ruin].

9 He who turns his ear away from listening to the law [of God and man],

Even his prayer is repulsive [to God]. [Ps 66:18; 109:7; Prov 15:8; Zech 7:11]

5 It is better to listen to the rebuke of the wise man and pursue wisdom

Than for one to listen to the song of fools and pursue stupidity.

8 All things are wearisome and all words are frail;

Man cannot express it.

The eye is not satisfied with seeing,

Nor is the ear filled with hearing. [Prov 27:20]

21 ‘If then, you act with hostility toward Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times in accordance with your sins.

2 If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to honor My name," says the Lord of hosts, "then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings [on the people]. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.

27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth and you will say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses [to hear], let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

11 "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God,

"When I will send hunger over the land,

Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water,

But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the Lord.

25 But about midnight when Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

9 Joshua said to the Israelites, "Come here, and listen to the words of the Lord your God."

3 For that reason, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops.

15 "If your brother sins*, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens and pays attention to you, you have won back your brother.

15 "If your brother sins*, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens and pays attention to you, you have won back your brother.16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses.17 If he pays no attention to them [refusing to listen and obey], tell it to the *church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile (unbeliever) and a tax collector. [Lev 19:17; Deut 19:15]

9 Jethro rejoiced over all the good things the Lord had done to Israel, in that He had rescued them from the hand of the Egyptians.

5 "For the waves of death encompassed me;

The torrents of *destruction overwhelmed and terrified me.

6 "The cords of Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death confronted me.

7 "In my distress I called upon the Lord;

I cried out to my God,

And from His temple [in the heavens] He heard my voice;

My cry for help came into His ears.
