The LORD of hosts.”

And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”

“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,

And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So the holy seed shall be its stump.”
