'Hear' in the Bible

Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth;For the Lord speaks,“Sons I have reared and brought up,But they have revolted against Me.

Hear the word of the Lord,You rulers of Sodom;Give ear to the instruction of our God,You people of Gomorrah.

“Render the hearts of this people insensitive,Their ears dull,And their eyes dim,Otherwise they might see with their eyes,Hear with their ears,Understand with their hearts,And return and be healed.”

And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,And He will not judge by what His eyes see,Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;

All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth,As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it,And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.

For this reason my loins are full of anguish;Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor.I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.

From the ends of the earth we hear songs, “Glory to the Righteous One,”But I say, “Woe to me! Woe to me! Alas for me!The treacherous deal treacherously,And the treacherous deal very treacherously.”

Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, O scoffers,Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,

Give ear and hear my voice,Listen and hear my words.

On that day the deaf will hear words of a book,And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

“Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded,And the ears of those who hear will listen.

Rise up, you women who are at ease,And hear my voice;Give ear to my word,You complacent daughters.

“You who are far away, hear what I have done;And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”

Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in Judean and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the remnant that is left.’”

Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will make him fall by the sword in his own land.”’”

Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see; and listen to all the words of Sennacherib, who sent them to reproach the living God.

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord of hosts,

Hear, you deaf!And look, you blind, that you may see.

All the nations have gathered togetherSo that the peoples may be assembled.Who among them can declare thisAnd proclaim to us the former things?Let them present their witnesses that they may be justified,Or let them hear and say, “It is true.”

“Now, then, hear this, you sensual one,Who dwells securely,Who says in your heart,‘I am, and there is no one besides me.I will not sit as a widow,Nor know loss of children.’

“Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are named IsraelAnd who came forth from the loins of Judah,Who swear by the name of the LordAnd invoke the God of Israel,But not in truth nor in righteousness.

Therefore, please hear this, you afflicted,Who are drunk, but not with wine:

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so shortThat it cannot save;Nor is His ear so dullThat it cannot hear.

But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God,And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

I will destine you for the sword,And all of you will bow down to the slaughter.Because I called, but you did not answer;I spoke, but you did not hear.And you did evil in My sightAnd chose that in which I did not delight.”

It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word:“Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for My name’s sake,Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy.’But they will be put to shame.
