And Elijah came unto all people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And people answered him not a word. But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all upright in heart shall follow it.

The way of wicked is an abomination unto Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Lord: look unto rock whence ye are hewn, and to hole of pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like garden of Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and voice of melody.

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know Lord: his going forth is prepared as morning; and he shall come unto us as rain, as latter and former rain unto earth.

(by following)

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching gospel of kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among people. And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had palsy; and he healed them. And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

When he was come down from mountain, great multitudes followed him. And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John brother of James.

Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in way. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in name of Lord: (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; And they went forth, and preached every where, Lord working with them, and confirming word with signs following. Amen. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and followed him. When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

And all his acquaintance, and women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

And thou shalt say unto him, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And I charge your judges, saying, Hear causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and stranger that is with him. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear small as well as great; ye shall not be afraid of face of man; for judgment is God's: and cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it. And all people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously. Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest hearts of all children of men).

And he said, Hear thou therefore word of LORD: I saw LORD sitting on his throne, and all host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.

Again he said, Therefore hear word of LORD; I saw Lord sitting upon his throne, and all host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare; Hear attentively noise of his voice, and sound that goeth out of his mouth. I will hear what God LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of wicked that rise up against me. He that planted ear, shall he not hear? he that formed eye, shall he not see?

All kings of earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear words of thy mouth. When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. (Keep thy foot when thou goest to house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.) Let us hear conclusion of whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is whole duty of man.

And in that day shall deaf hear words of book, and eyes of blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to right hand, and when ye turn to left. And eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and ears of them that hear shall hearken.

When poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I LORD will hear them, I God of Israel will not forsake them.

Let all nations be gathered together, and let people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith LORD, I will hear heavens, and they shall hear earth; And earth shall hear corn, and wine, and oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

Hear word of LORD, ye children of Israel: for LORD hath a controversy with inhabitants of land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in land.
