Isaias

7 And he made it touch my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin atoned for.

8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I, send me.

9 And. he-said, Go, and say to this people, Certainly hear ye, but understand not; and see ye, but perceive not.

10 Make the heart of this people fat, and makeitheir ears heavy, and smear over their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and one heal them.

11 And I said, Until when, Lord? And he said, Until the cities be wasted, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

12 And the LORD removed men far away, and great be the forsaken (tract) in the midst of the land.
