10 “Make these people stubborn!Make them stop uptheir ears,cover their eyes,and fail to understand.Don't let them turn to meand be healed.”
11 Then I asked the Lord, “How long will this last?”The Lord answered:Until their towns are destroyed and their houses are deserted, until their fields are empty,
12 and I have sent them far away, leaving their land in ruins.
13 If only a tenth of the people are left, even they will be destroyed. But just as stumps remain after trees have been cut down, some of my chosen ones will be left.
