Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 6:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 Then I asked the Lord, “How long will this last?”
The Lord answered:
Until their towns are destroyed and their houses are deserted, until their fields are empty, 12 and I have sent them far away, leaving their land in ruins. 13 If only a tenth of the people are left, even they will be destroyed. But just as stumps remain after trees have been cut down,[a] some of my chosen ones will be left.

Isaiah 6:11-13
New International Version
11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”(A)
And he answered:
“Until the cities lie ruined(B)
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted(C)
and the fields ruined and ravaged,(D)
12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away(E)
and the land is utterly forsaken.(F)
13 And though a tenth remains(G) in the land,
it will again be laid waste.(H)
But as the terebinth and oak
leave stumps(I) when they are cut down,
so the holy(J) seed will be the stump in the land.”(K)
