Isaiah 6:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said,
“Until cities lie waste
    without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
    and the land is utterly desolate;^(A)
12 until the Lord sends everyone far away,
    and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land.^(B)
13 Even if a tenth part remain in it,
    it will be burned again,
like a terebinth or an oak
    whose stump remains standing
    when it is felled.”^[a]
(The holy seed is its stump.)^(C)
