Isaiah 6:9-13

Modern English Version

‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
    keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
¹⁰ Make the heart of this people dull,
    and their ears heavy,
    and shut their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes,
    and hear with their ears,
    and understand with their heart,
and turn and be healed.”

“Until the cities are laid waste
    without inhabitants,
and the houses without man,
    and the land is utterly desolate,
¹² and the Lord has removed men far away,
    and there is a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
¹³ But yet in it shall be a tenth,
    and it shall return, and shall be burned,
as a terebinth tree or as an oak,
    whose stump remains when it is cut down,
    so the holy seed is its stump.”
