Isaiah 1:7-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 Your (A)land is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire,
Your fields—strangers are devouring them in your presence;
It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
9 (B)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left us a few (C)survivors,
We would be like (D)Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.
Isaiah 6:11-13
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 Then I said, “Lord, (A)how long?” And He answered,
“Until (B)cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,
12 “The Lord has (C)removed men far away,
And the [a](D)forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 “Yet there will be a tenth portion in it,
And it will again be subject to burning,
Like a terebinth or an (E)oak
Whose stump remains when it is felled.
The (F)holy seed is its stump.”
