Yesaya 32:6

32:6 For a fool speaks disgraceful things; ¹ 

his mind plans out sinful deeds. ² 

He commits godless deeds ³ 

and says misleading things about the Lord;

he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite ⁴ 

and gives the thirsty nothing to drink. ⁵ 

Yesaya 48:8

you do not know,

you were not told beforehand. ⁶

you were labeled ⁸  a rebel from birth.

Yesaya 57:11

57:11 Whom are you worried about?

Whom do you fear, that you would act so deceitfully

and not remember me

or think about me? ⁹ 

Because I have been silent for so long, ¹⁰ 

you are not afraid of me. ¹¹
