Isaiah 6:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ Make the minds of this people dull;
    stop up their ears
    and close their eyes.
Otherwise their eyes will see,
    their ears will hear,
their hearts will understand,
    and they will change their ways
    and be healed.

Until the cities lie in ruins
    and become deserted,
until the houses are unoccupied
    and the land lies completely desolate,
¹² until the Lord drives the people far away
    and the country will be totally abandoned.
