Isaiah 6:8–13

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for qus? rThen said I, †sHere am I; send me. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people,

†tHear ye ||indeed, but understand not;

And see ye †indeed, but perceive not.

10  uMake the heart of this people fat,

And make their ears heavy, and vshut their eyes;

wLest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

11  Then said I, xLord, 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 ythe Lord have removed men far away,

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

13  But yet in it shall be za tenth, ||and it shall return, and ashall be eaten:

As ba teil tree, and as an oak, whose ||substance is in them, cwhen they cast their leaves:

So dthe holy seed shall be the ||substance thereof.
