11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”

And he answered:

“Until the cities lie ruined

and without inhabitant,

until the houses are left deserted

and the fields ruined and ravaged,

12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away

and the land is utterly forsaken.

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered,

Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant,

And the houses without man,

And the land be utterly desolate,

12 And the Lord have removed men far away,

And there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long will this go on?”

And he replied,

“Until their towns are empty,

their houses are deserted,

and the whole country is a wasteland;

12 until the Lord has sent everyone away,

and the entire land of Israel lies deserted.

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?”

And He answered:

“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,

The houses are without a man,

The land is utterly desolate,

12 The Lord has removed men far away,

And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

11 Then I asked, “Lord, how long should I do this?”

He answered,

“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.

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste, 12 and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.

11 And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Until the cities be wasted, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land become an utter desolation, 12 and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the solitude be great in the midst of the land.

11 I asked, “How long, O Lord?” 

And he replied, 

“Until the cities lie in ruins with no one living in them, 

the houses have no people, 

and the land is completely desolate. 

12 The Lord will send his people far away, 

and a large area in the middle of the land will be abandoned. 

11 Then I said, “Until when, Lord?” And He replied:

Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants,

houses are without people,

the land is ruined and desolate,

12 and the Lord drives the people far away,

leaving great emptiness in the land.

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;

12 until the Lord sends everyone far away,

and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land.

11 Then I said, “Until when, Lord?”

And he said,

“Until the cities lie wasted without inhabitant,

and houses without people,

and the land is ruined and a waste,

12 and Yahweh sends the people far away,

and the abandonment is great in the midst of the land.

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long will it be like that?”

He answered,

“It will last until the cities of Israel are destroyed

and no one is living in them.

It will last until the houses are deserted.

The fields will be completely destroyed.

12 It will last until I have sent everyone far away.

The land will be totally deserted.

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered,

“Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant,

Houses are without people

And the land is utterly desolate,

12 “The Lord has removed men far away,

And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
