Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - Wilt thou not hearken; rather, thou wilt not hearken.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) Wilt thou not surely put me to death?--The prophet obviously speaks as if he believed the king to have sanctioned the severe measures that had been taken against him, and having no other "word of the Lord" to speak than that which he had spoken before, fears to provoke his wrath. The latter part of the sentence is better taken with the LXX., Vulg., and Luther, "thou wilt not hearken unto me "; or the form of the question altered so as to imply that answer.
