King James Version
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.

Isaiah 6:11-13
New King James Version
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.”

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)

11 Then I said, (A)“How long, O Lord?”
And he said:
“Until (B)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.
13 (C)And though a tenth remain in it,
it will be burned[a] again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump (D)remains
when it is felled.”
(E)The holy seed[b] is its stump.
