Isaiah 6:10-12

English Standard Version Anglicised

^10 (A)Make the heart of this people ^(B)dull,^[a]
    and their ears heavy,
    and blind their eyes;
^(C)lest they see with their eyes,
    and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
    and turn and be healed.”
¹¹ Then I said, ^(D)“How long, O Lord?”
And he said:
“Until ^(E)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.
