Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) Give heed to me . . .--This is the prophet's answer to the resolve of the people, "Let us not give heed." He appeals in the accents of a passionate complaint to One who will heed his words. The opening words are almost as an echo of Psalm 35:1.
