Isaiah, Chapter 6

¹ In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. ² Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³ And one called out to another and said,“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts,
The^awhole earth is full of His glory.”

⁴ And the^bfoundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the^ctemple was filling with smoke. ⁵ Then I said,“Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.”

⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. ⁷ He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is^dforgiven.”

⁸ Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!” ⁹ He said, “Go, and tell this people:‘Keep on listening, but do not perceive;
Keep on looking, but do not understand.’

¹⁰“Render the hearts of this people^einsensitive,
Their ears^fdull,
And their eyes^gdim,
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

¹¹ Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered,“Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,

¹²“The LORD has removed men far away,
And the^hforsaken 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 oak
Whose stump remains when it is felled.
The holy seed is its stump.”
