11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?”

And He answered:

(A)“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,
12 (B)The Lord has removed men far away,
And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 But yet a tenth will be in it,
And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So (C)the holy seed shall be its stump.”

11 Then I said, “Lord, (A)how long?” And He answered,

“Until (B)cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,
12 The Lord has (C)completely removed people,
And there [a]are many (D)forsaken places in the midst of the land.
13 Yet there will still be a tenth portion in it,
And it will again be subject to burning,
Like a terebinth or an (E)oak
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
The (F)holy seed is its stump.”
