<< Isaiah 6 >> English Standard Version

---

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 a desolate waste,
12 and the Lord removes people far away,
and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 And though a tenth remain in it,
it will be burned^f again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump remains
when it is felled.”
The holy seed^g is its stump.
