Isaiah's Commission From The Lord
8 And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, 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, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.
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 hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.
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, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely 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 the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in 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 there is still a tenth part in it, it will again be burned, like a tree of the woods whose broken end is still in the earth after the tree has been cut down (the holy seed is the broken end).
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."
