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.
6:2 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.
6:3 One called to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!
6:4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
6:5 Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!
6:6 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.
6:7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.
6:8 I heard the Lords voice, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here I am. Send me!
6:9 He said, Go, and tell this people, You hear indeed, but dont understand; and you see indeed, but dont perceive.
6:10 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.
6:11 Then I said, Lord, how long? He answered, Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,
6:12 And Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
6:13 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.
