Listen to me

Here "me" is Yahweh.

look at the rock from which you were chiseled and to the quarry from which you were cut

Both phrases mean basically the same thing. This refers to a person cutting out smaller stones from a large rock to use for building. God compares this to Abraham and Sarah through whom he made the nation of Israel. AT: "Think about your ancestors who are like the rock from which I chiseled you and made you a nation."
