'Hear' in the Bible

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.
