7314. 'And behold, you have not heard up to now' means disobedience. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing' as obedience, dealt with in 2542, 3869, 5017, 5471, 5475, 7216, so that 'not hearing' is disobedience.

5475. 'And you did not listen' means non-acceptance. This is clear from the meaning of hearing or 'listening' as obeying, dealt with in 2542, 3869, 4652-4660, 5017. And Since obeying is meant, so also is accepting, as above in 5471; for anyone who obeys what faith tells him is acceptive. Here non-acceptance is meant because the words used are 'you did not listen'.
