Isaiah 6:11-13

Complete Jewish Bible

¹¹ I asked, “Adonai, how long?” and he answered,

“Until cities become uninhabited ruins,
houses without human presence,
the land utterly wasted;
¹² until Adonai drives the people far away,
and the land is one vast desolation.
¹³ If even a tenth [of the people] remain,
it will again be devoured.

“But like a pistachio tree or an oak,
whose trunk remains alive
after its leaves fall off,
the holy seed will be its trunk.”
