Isaiah 6:10-13
New International Version
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;(A)
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.[a](B)
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,(C)
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”(D)
11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”(E)
And he answered:
“Until the cities lie ruined(F)
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted(G)
and the fields ruined and ravaged,(H)
12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away(I)
and the land is utterly forsaken.(J)
13 And though a tenth remains(K) in the land,
it will again be laid waste.(L)
But as the terebinth and oak
leave stumps(M) when they are cut down,
so the holy(N) seed will be the stump in the land.”(O)

- Isaiah 6:10 Hebrew; Septuagint ‘You will be ever hearing, but never understanding; / you will be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ / 10 This people’s heart has become calloused; / they hardly hear with their ears, / and they have closed their eyes
Isaiah 6:10-13
King James Version
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
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.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
