Isaiah 6:10-12

10 ^a“Render the hearts of this people ^{▼▼ Lit fat
,} ^cinsensitive,
Their ears ^{▼▼ Lit heavy}dull,
And their eyes ^{▼▼ Lit besmeared}dim,
^fOtherwise they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

11 Then I said, “Lord, ^ghow long?” And He answered, “Until ^hcities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,
12 “The Lord has ⁱremoved men far away,
And the ^{▼▼ Or forsakenness will be great
,} ^kforsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
