Isaiah 6:11-13
The Message
11-13 Astonished, I said,
“And Master, how long is this to go on?”
He said, “Until the cities are emptied out,
not a soul left in the cities—
Houses empty of people,
countryside empty of people.
Until I, God, get rid of everyone, sending them off,
the land totally empty.
And even if some should survive, say a tenth,
the devastation will start up again.
The country will look like pine and oak forest
with every tree cut down—
Every tree a stump, a huge field of stumps.
But there’s a holy seed in those stumps.”
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)
Isaiah 6:11-13
King James Version
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.
