Isaiah 6:10-12

101Make the hearts of this people 23insensitive, Their ears 4dull, And their eyes 5blind, 6So that they will not see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.” 11Then I said, “Lord, 7how long?” And He answered, “Until 8cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people And the land is utterly desolate,12The Lord has 9completely removed people, And there 10are many 11forsaken places in the midst of the land.
