'Pay Attention' in the Bible

Listen, my sons, to a father’s discipline,and pay attention so that you may gain understanding,

My son, pay attention to my words;listen closely to my sayings.

My son, pay attention to my wisdom;listen closely to my understanding

Now, my sons, listen to me,and pay attention to the words of my mouth.

Listen closely, pay attention to the words of the wise,and apply your mind to my knowledge.

Know well the condition of your flock,and pay attention to your herds,
