8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
9. And he said,
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 return, and be healed.
11. Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered,
12. And the LORD has removed men far away, and there are many forsaken places in the midst of the land.
13. But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be laid waste: as a terebinth tree, and as an oak, whose stump remains, when they are cut down: so the holy seed shall be its stump.
