Isaiah 6:9-12

9And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on 1listening, but do not understand; And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’102Make the hearts of this people 34insensitive, Their ears 5dull, And their eyes 6blind, 7So 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, 8how long?” And He answered, “Until 9cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people And the land is utterly desolate,12The Lord has 10completely removed people, And there 11are many 12forsaken places in the midst of the land.
