Isaiah 6:9-12

9And He repliedH559:

“GoH1980 and tellH559 thisH2088 peopleH5971,‘Be ever hearingH8085, but neverH408 understandingH995;be ever seeingH7200, but neverH408 perceivingH3045.’110Make the heartsH3820 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 callousedH8080;deafenH3513 their earsH241 and closeH8173 their eyesH5869.OtherwiseH6435 they might seeH7200 with their eyesH5869,hearH8085 with their earsH241,understandH995 with their heartsH3824,and turnH7725 and be healedH7495.2”

11Then I askedH559:

“How longH5704H4970, O LordH136?”

And He repliedH559:

“UntilH5704 the citiesH5892 lie ruinedH7582and withoutH369 inhabitantH3427,until the housesH1004 are left unoccupiedH369H120and the landH127 is desolateH7582 and ravagedH8077,12until the LORDH3068 has driven menH120 far awayH7368and the landH776 is utterlyH7231 forsakenH5805H7130.
