Isaiah

“Why should ye be stricken any more?”

“To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?”

“What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor?”

“What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?”

“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”

“Lord, how long?”

“Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?”

“What will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far?”

“Are not my princes altogether kings?”

“Is not Calno as Carchemish?”

“Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?”

“Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith?”

“Art thou also become weak as we?”

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground!”

“Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms?”

“The LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it?”

“What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation?”

“I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?”

“He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night?”

“What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?”

“What hast thou here?”

“Whom shall he teach knowledge?”

“Doth the plowman plow all day to sow?”

“When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?”

“He made me not?”

“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?”

“Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?”

“Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?”

“Ye shall worship before this altar?”

“How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?”

“Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words?”

“Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad?”

“Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?”

“And shalt thou be delivered?”

“Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed?”

“And of ancient times, that I have formed it?”

“What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?”

“What said these men?”

“What have they seen in thine house?”

“Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?”

“Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?”

“With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?”

“To whom then will ye liken God?”

“Have ye not known?”

“To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal?”

“Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these?”

“Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?”

“Hast thou not known?”

“Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings?”

“Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?”

“Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know?”

“Who is blind, but my servant?”

“Who among you will give ear to this?”

“Who gave Jacob for a spoil , and Israel to the robbers?”

“Who among them can declare this, and shew us former things?”

“I will work, and who shall let it?”

“Shall ye not know it?”

“Who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people?”

“Have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it?”

“Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?”

“And shall I make the residue thereof an abomination?”

“Is there not a lie in my right hand?”

“What makest thou?”

“What begettest thou?”

“Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?”

“Who hath declared this from ancient time?”

“To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?”

“For how should my name be polluted?”

“Which among them hath declared these things?”

“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?”

“Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro?”

“Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?”

“Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away?”

“When I came, was there no man?”

“Who will contend with me?”

“Who is he that shall condemn me?”

“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light?”

“Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?”

“who comforts you; who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, of the son of man who is made like grass,?”

“And hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?”

“Therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought?”

“Who hath believed our report?”

“Do ye spend money for that which is not bread?”

“Against whom do ye sport yourselves?”

“Of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart?”

“Have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?”

“Is it such a fast that I have chosen?”

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen?”

“Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?”

“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?”

“Art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?”

“Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock?”

“Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me?”

“O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear?”

“Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?”

“Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD?”

“Where is the house that ye build unto me?”

“Who hath heard such a thing?”

“Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?”
