'Hear' in the Bible

The wise will hear and increase their learning,And the person of understanding will acquire wise counsel and the skill [to steer his course wisely and lead others to the truth],

My son, hear the instruction of your father,And do not reject the teaching of your mother.

Hear, O children, the instruction of a father,And pay attention [and be willing to learn] so that you may gain understanding and intelligent discernment.

Hear, my son, and accept my sayings,And the years of your life will be many.

“Listen, for I will speak excellent and noble things;And the opening of my lips will reveal right things.

“Heed (pay attention to) instruction and be wise,And do not ignore or neglect it.

Listen to counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction,That you may be wise in the time to come.

Cease listening, my son, to instruction and disciplineAnd you will stray from the words of knowledge.

Listen, my son, and be wise,And direct your heart in the way [of the Lord].
