'Asked' in the Bible

Then I asked one nearby, "What are these, sir?" The angelic messenger who replied to me said, "I will show you what these are."

The angel of the Lord then asked, "Lord who rules over all, how long before you have compassion on Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah which you have been so angry with for these seventy years?"

So I asked the angelic messenger who spoke with me, "What are these?" He replied, "These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."

I asked, "What are these going to do?" He answered, "These horns are the ones that have scattered Judah so that there is no one to be seen. But the blacksmiths have come to terrify Judah's enemies and cut off the horns of the nations that have thrust themselves against the land of Judah in order to scatter its people."

I asked, "Where are you going?" He replied, "To measure Jerusalem in order to determine its width and its length."

He asked me, "What do you see?" I replied, "I see a menorah of pure gold with a receptacle at the top and seven lamps, with fourteen pipes going to the lamps.

Then I asked the messenger who spoke with me, "What are these, sir?"

Next I asked the messenger, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the menorah?"

Before he could reply I asked again, "What are these two extensions of the olive trees, which are emptying out the golden oil through the two golden pipes?"

Someone asked me, "What do you see?" I replied, "I see a flying scroll thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide."

I asked, "What is it?" And he replied, "It is a basket for measuring grain that is moving away from here." Moreover, he said, "This is their 'eye' throughout all the earth."

I asked the messenger who was speaking to me, "Where are they taking the basket?"

Then I asked the angelic messenger who was speaking with me, "What are these, sir?"
