Then I said, Here am I; send me. 9 And He said, Go and tell this people, You hear indeed, but do not understand; and you see indeed, but do not perceive. 10 Make the heart of this people dull, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and healed. 11 Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities are laid waste without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land is utterly desolate, 12 And the LORD has removed men far away, and there is a great forsaking in the midst of the land. 13 But yet a tenth will be in it, and it will return, and be consumed; as a terebinth tree or as an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down.
