“Shout! A full-throated shout! Hold nothing back—a trumpet-blast shout! Tell my people what’s wrong with their lives, face my family Jacob with their sins!

Why do we humble ourselves and you don’t even notice?’

And don’t tell me that I have no authority to write like this. I’m perfectly free to do this—isn’t that obvious? Haven’t I been given a job to do?

Even if no one else admits the authority of my commission, you can’t deny it. Why, my work with you is living proof of my authority!
