Isaiah 6:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Then said I, Lord, [a]how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great desolation in the midst of the land.
13 But yet in it shall be [b]a tenth, and shall return, and shall be eaten up as an elm [c]or an oak, which have a substance in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
