Isaiah 6:11-13

New Century Version

“Until the cities are destroyed
    and the people are gone,
until there are no people left in the houses,
    until the land is destroyed and left empty.
¹² The Lord 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 it will be destroyed again.
These people will be like an oak tree
    whose stump is left when the tree is chopped down.
    The people who remain will be like a stump that will sprout again.”
