Verse 11
Ask me of things to come "And he that formeth the things which are to come" - I read ויוצר veyotser , without the ו vau suffixed; from the Septuagint, who join it in construction with the following word, ὁ ποιησας τα επερχομενα .
"Do ye question me." - תשאלוני tishaluni , Chald. recte; praecedit ת tau ; et sic forte legerunt reliqui Intt. - Secker. "The Chaldee has, more properly, תשאלוני tishaluni , with a ת tau preceding; and thus the other interpreters probably read." The learned bishop therefore reads the passage thus: -
"Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel;
And he that formeth the things which are to come;
Do ye question me concerning my children?
And do ye give me directions concerning the work of my hands?"
