'Heard' in the Bible

Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.

“The spirit stood still, but I could not discern its appearance;A form was before my eyes;There was silence, and then I heard a voice, saying:

[Job continued:] “Behold, my eye has seen all this,My ear has heard and understood it.

“Should a wise man [such as you] utter such windy and vain knowledge [as we have just heard]And fill himself with the east wind [of withering, parching, and violent accusations]?

“I have heard many such things;Wearisome and miserable comforters are you all.

“O earth, do not cover my blood,And let there be no [resting] place for my cry [where it will cease being heard].

“Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not heard;I shout for help, but there is no justice.

“I have heard the reproof which insults me,But the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.

“Abaddon (the place of destruction) and Death say,‘We have [only] heard a report of it with our ears.’

“For when an ear heard [my name mentioned], it called me happy and fortunate;And when an eye saw [me], it testified for me [approvingly],

“I thought age should speak,And a multitude of years should teach wisdom.

“Surely you have spoken in my hearing,And I have heard the sound of your words, saying:

“Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed,And with unceasing complaint in his bones,

“If there is an angel as a mediator for him,One out of a thousand,To explain to a man what is right for him [that is, how to be in right standing with God],

So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him,And He heard the cry of the afflicted.

“After it, His voice roars;He thunders with the voice of His majesty,And He does not restrain His lightning [against His adversaries] when His voice is heard.

“I had heard of You [only] by the hearing of the ear,But now my [spiritual] eye sees You.
