Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;

I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
