My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart.

Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the Lord.

If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.

And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey him.”

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.

As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, ‘Here am I, here am I.’

Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.

Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.

If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.

Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.

I will strengthen Judah and save the tribes of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them. They will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.

“If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,” says the Lord Almighty, “I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me.”

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.

In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.

It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.

My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.
