isaiah 6
1 - In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2 - Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
3 - One called to another, and said,"Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts!The whole earth is full of his glory!"
4 - The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 - Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell 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, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7 - He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven."
8 - I heard the Lord's voice, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"Then I said, "Here I am. Send me!"
9 - He said, "Go, and tell this people,'You hear indeed,but don't understand;and you see indeed,but don't perceive.'
10 - Make the heart of this people fat.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 turn again, and be healed."
11 - Then I said, "Lord, how long?"He answered,"Until cities are waste without inhabitant,and houses without man,and the land becomes utterly waste,
12 - And the LORD has removed men far away,and the forsaken places are many within the land.
13 - If there is a tenth left in it,that also will in turn be consumed:as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled;so the holy seed is its stock."
