What do ye mean that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? says the Lord, LORD of hosts.

What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes?

And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down.

In that day LORD will shave with a razor what is hired in the parts beyond the River, [even] with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet, and it shall also consume the beard.

And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?

What then shall [a man] answer the messengers of the nation? That LORD has founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge.

Where then are thy wise men? And let them tell thee now, and let them know what LORD of hosts has purposed concerning Egypt.

For thus has LORD said to me, Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.

The burden of Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles thee now, that thou have wholly gone up to the housetops?

What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!

For the bed is shorter than what a man can stretch himself on it, and the covering narrower than what he can wrap himself in it.

Hear, ye who are far off, what I have done, and ye who are near, acknowledge my might.

And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trust?

Behold, thou have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. And shall thou be delivered?

What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of LORD?

Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And from where did they come to thee? And Hezekiah said, They have come from a far country to me, even from Babylon.

Then he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness of it is as the flower of the field.

To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare to him?

Let them bring forth, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare ye the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them, or show us things to come.

Woe to him who strives with his maker, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What are thou making? or thy work, He has no hands?

Woe to him who says to a father, What are thou begetting? or to a woman, With what are thou travailing?

Now therefore, what do I do here, says LORD, seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them howl, says LORD, and {because of you (LXX/NT)} my name is continually blasphemed {among the Gentiles (LXX/NT)}.

For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, besides thee, [what] he has prepared for him who waits for him.

Thus says LORD, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What manner of house will ye build to me, and what place shall be my rest?
