Isaiah 6:13

וְעֹ֥וד בָּהּ֙ עֲשִׂ֣רִיָּ֔ה וְשָׁ֖בָה וְהָיְתָ֣ה לְבָעֵ֑ר כָּאֵלָ֣ה וְכָאַלֹּ֗ון אֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּשַׁלֶּ֨כֶת֙ מַצֶּ֣בֶת בָּ֔ם זֶ֥רַע קֹ֖דֶשׁ מַצַּבְתָּֽהּ׃ פ

And yet a tenth shall remain in it, and it shall return and be burned—like a terebinth and like an oak, whose stump remains when they are felled. The holy seed is its stump.”
