Isaiah's Commission From The Lord
8 Then I heard [the] voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "I [am] here! Send me!"
8 Also 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.
8 Then I heard the (N)voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then (O)I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying:Who should I send?Who will go for Us?I said:Here I am. Send me.
8 Then I heard the voice of the LORD as he was asking, "Whom will I send? Who will go for us?" "Here I am!" I replied. "Send me."
9 And he said, "Go and say to this people, 'Keep on listening and do not comprehend! And keep on looking and do not understand!'
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
9 He said, “Go, and tell this people:‘Keep on (P)listening, but do not perceive;Keep on looking, but do not understand.’
9 And He replied:Go! Say to these people:Keep listening, but do not understand;(O)keep looking, but do not perceive.
9 "Go!" he responded. "Tell this people: ""Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'
10 Make the heart of this people insensitive, and make its ears unresponsive, and shut its eyes so that it may not look with its eyes and listen with its ears and comprehend [with] its mind and turn back, and it may be healed [for] him."
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
10 “(Q)Render the hearts of this people (e)(R)insensitive,Their ears (f)dull,And their eyes (g)dim,(S)Otherwise they might see with their eyes,Hear with their ears,Understand with their hearts,And return and be healed.”
10 Dull the minds(d) of these people;deafen their ears and blind their eyes;otherwise they might see with their eyesand hear with their ears,understand with their minds,turn back, and be healed.(P)
10 Dull the mind of this people, deafen their ears, and blind their eyes. By doing so, they won't see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their minds, turn back, and be healed."
11 Then I said, "Until when, Lord?" And he said, "Until [the] cities lie wasted without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is ruined [and] a waste,
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
11 Then I said, “Lord, (T)how long?” And He answered,“Until (U)cities are devastated and without inhabitant,Houses are without peopleAnd the land is utterly desolate,
11 Then I said, “Until when, Lord?”(Q) And He replied:Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants,(R)houses are without people,the land is ruined and desolate,
11 Then I asked, "For how long, LORD?" He replied: "Until cities lie waste, without inhabitants, and houses without people; and the land becomes utterly desolate.
12 and Yahweh sends the people far away, and the abandonment is great in the midst of the land.
12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
12 “The Lord has (V)removed men far away,And the (h)(W)forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
12 and the Lord drives the people far away,leaving great emptiness in the land.
12 Until the LORD removes people far away, and there are many empty places in the middle of the land.
13 And {even if only a tenth part remain}, {again she will be destroyed} like terebinth or like [an] oak, which although felled, a tree stump [remains] in them. [The] seed of holiness [will be] her tree stump."
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
13 “Yet there will be a tenth portion in it,And it will again be subject to burning,Like a terebinth or an (X)oakWhose stump remains when it is felled.The (Y)holy seed is its stump.”
13 Though a tenth will remain in the land,it will be burned again.Like the terebinth or the oakthat leaves a stump when felled,the holy seed(S) is the stump.(T)
13 Even though a tenth of its people remain in it, it will once again be burned, like a terebinth or an oak tree, the stump of which, though the tree has been felled, still contains holy seed."
