11 Then I asked, “Lord, how long should I do this?”

He answered,

“Do this until the cities are destroyed
    and the people are gone.
Do this until there are no people left living in the houses.
    Do this until the land is destroyed and left empty.
12 I will send the people far away.
    And the land will be left empty.
13 One-tenth of the people will be left in the land.
    But the land will be destroyed again.
These people will be like an oak tree.
    When the tree is chopped down, a stump is left.
    The people who remain will be like a stump that will sprout again.”
