Isaiah 6:9-11
Christian Standard Bible
9 And he replied:
Go! Say to these people:
Keep listening, but do not understand;(A)
keep looking, but do not perceive.
10 Make the minds[a] of these people dull;
deafen their ears and blind their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their minds,

11 Then I said, “Until when, Lord?” (C) And he replied:
Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants,(D)
houses are without people,
the land is ruined and desolate,
