Jesaja 6

1. ¹In 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. ²Above 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. ³One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!"
4. ⁴The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5. ⁵Then 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 Hosts!"
6. ⁶Then 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. ⁷He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven."
8. ⁸I 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. ⁹He said, "Go, and tell this people, 'You hear indeed, But don't understand; And you see indeed, But don't perceive.'
10. ¹⁰Make 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. ¹¹Then I said, "Lord, how long?" He answered, "Until cities are waste without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the land becomes utterly waste,
12. ¹²And Yahweh has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13. ¹³If there are yet a tenth in it, It also shall in turn be eaten up: As a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains, when they are felled; So the holy seed is its stock."
