¹² 
The Lord has removed [His] people far away,
And there are many deserted places in the midst of the land.
¹³ 
“And though a tenth [of the people] remain in the land,
It will again be subject to destruction [consumed and burned],
Like a massive terebinth tree or like an oak
Whose stump remains when it is chopped down.
The holy seed [the elect remnant] is its stump [the substance of Israel].”
