Deuteronomy

11
When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he
shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
12
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that
is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the
LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
13
And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to
fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over
Jordan to possess it.

Good-ground
hearers are uncommon today.
"But
he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and
understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an
hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." Matthew 13:23 KJV
There
are those who seem to be hearing and learning... BUT...indicted as "ever learning, and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth."

Tim 3:7 KJV
To
fear the LORD our God is to obey what we have heard and learnt of His word.
"The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is
understanding." Proverbs 9:10 KJV
Some
will murmur, "the LORD our God is too strict"; they can choose to
ignore Him and bear the just consequences.
Ecclesiastes
5:1 KJV
Keep
thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than
to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
