Isaiah 6:9-13

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 longH5704 H4970, O LordH136?”

And He repliedH559:

“UntilH5704 the citiesH5892 lie ruinedH7582and withoutH369 inhabitantH3427,until the housesH1004 are left unoccupiedH369 H120and the landH127 is desolateH7582 and ravagedH8077,12until the LORDH3068 has driven menH120 far awayH7368and the landH776 is utterlyH7231 forsakenH5805 H7130.13And thoughH5750 a tenthH6224 remains in the land,it will beH1961 burnedH1197 againH7725.As the terebinthH424 and oakH437 leave stumpsH4678 when felledH7995,so the holyH6944 seedH2233 will be a stumpH4678 in the land.”
