Here I am Send me Isaiah 6:8 part one NIV

Then I heard the voice of the LORD saying,"Whom shall I send? 
And who will go for us? And I said,"Here I am. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8 
He said,"Go and tell this people:

Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.' Isaiah 6:9 
Make the heart of this people
calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts.
and turn and be healed. Isaiah 6:10 

Opposed to Ruth who also heard and understood NIV

"Look said,"said Naomi,"your sister-in-law is going back
to her people and her gods. Go back with her." Ruth 1:15

But Ruth replied,"Don't urge me to leave you or to turn
back from you. Where you go, I will go, and where you stay,
I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.
Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD
deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates
you and me." Ruth 1:16-17 

Joshua's Farewell address NIV

"Now fear the LORD and serve him with all of your faithfulness. Throw
away the  gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt,
and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems to be undesirable to
you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you shall serve, whether
the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household,
we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:14-15 

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, walked with God

When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. And
after he had become the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 365
years and he had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch; then he was
no more, because God took him away.  Genesis 5:21-24. 

This is the account of Noah. (Part one) NIV

Noah, was a righteous man, blameless among all of the people of his time
and he walked with God.  Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. God saw
how corrupt the earth had become, for all of the people on earth had become
corrupted in their ways. So God said to Noah,"I am going to put an end to all
people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going 
to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood:
make rooms in it and cover it with pitch inside and out..." Genesis 6:9-14
