'Hear' in the Bible

Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt:

“Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”Says the Lord God, the God of hosts,

Hear this word, you [well-fed, pampered] cows (women) of Bashan who are on the mountain of Samaria,Who oppress the poor, who crush the needy,Who say to their husbands, “Bring [the wine] now, and let us drink!”

Hear this word which I take up for you as a funeral song, O house of Israel:

Hear this, you who trample down the needy, and do away with the poor of the land,
