9He said, “Go, and tell this people,‘You hear indeed,but don’t understand.You see indeed,but don’t perceive.’ 10Make the heart of this people fat.Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes;lest they see with their eyes,hear with their ears,understand with their heart,and turn again, and be healed.” 11Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered,“Until cities are waste without inhabitant,houses without man,the land becomes utterly waste, 12and Yahweh has removed men far away,and the forsaken places are many within the land. 13If there is a tenth left in it,that also will in turn be consumed,as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down,so the holy seed is its stump.”
