Isaiah 6:11-13
International Standard Version
Isaiah 6:11-13
International Standard Version
11 Then I asked, “For how long, Lord?”[a]
He replied:
“Until cities lie waste,
without inhabitants,
and houses without people;
and the land becomes utterly desolate.
12 Until[b] the Lord removes people far away,
and there are many empty places
in the middle of the land.
13 Even though a tenth of its people remain[c] in it,
it will once again be burned,[d]
like a terebinth[e] or an oak tree,[f]
the stump of which, though the tree has been[g] felled,
still contains holy seed.”[h]
