hēd : This word, in the sense of giving careful attention ("take heed," "give heed," etc.), represents several Hebrew and Greek words; chief among them שׁמר , shāmar , "to watch"; βλέπω , blépō , "to look," ὁράω , horáō , "to see." As opposed to thoughtlessness, disregard of God's words, of the counsels of wisdom, of care for one's ways, it is constantly inculcated as a duty of supreme importance in the moral and spiritual life ( Deuteronomy 4:9 , Deuteronomy 4:15 , Deuteronomy 4:23; Deuteronomy 27:9 the King James Version, etc.; Joshua 22:5; Joshua 23:11; Psalm 39:1; Matthew 16:6; Mark 4:24; Mark 13:33; Luke 12:15; 1 Corinthians 3:10; 1 Corinthians 8:9; 1 Corinthians 10:12; Colossians 4:17 , etc.).
