'Asks' in the Bible

"Should I not punish them for these things?" asks the LORD, "And on a nation like this, should I not seek retribution?"

"Should I not punish them for this?' asks the LORD. "Should I not avenge myself on a nation like this?'

Are they provoking me?" asks the LORD. "Is it not themselves, and to their own shame?"

Should I not punish them for these things?" asks the LORD, "and should I not avenge myself on a nation like this?"
