'Hearer' in the Bible
To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh come.
Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.
But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.
Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;
But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.
