Isaiah 6:9-12
English Standard Version
9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:
(A)“‘Keep on hearing,[a] but do not understand;
keep on seeing,[b] but do not perceive.’
10 (B)Make the heart of this people (C)dull,[c]
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
(D)lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
11 Then I said, (E)“How long, O Lord?”
And he said:
“Until (F)cities lie waste
without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is a desolate waste,
12 and the Lord removes people far away,
and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
