11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered, “Until cities are destroyed and empty, and until houses are without people and the land is laid waste. 12 Until the Lord has taken men far away, and there are many places with no people in the land. 13 Yet one tenth part of the people will stay in it. But it will be burned again, like an oak tree whose roots are still there when it is cut down. The holy seed is all that will be left (of Israel).”

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)
