Listening

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

• Wisdom

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

• Wisdom

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

• Samuel
• Children

And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

• Courage

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

• Wisdom

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

• Life
• War

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

• Gospel
• Thankfulness

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

• Ishmael
• Bastard
• Church

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
