1In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also
the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up,
and his train filled the temple.
2Above it stood the seraphims: each one had
six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with
twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did
fly.
3And one cried unto another, and said, Holy,
holy, holy, is the
LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full
of his glory.
4And the posts of the door moved at the voice
of him that cried, and the house was filled with
smoke.
5Then said I, 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 mine eyes have seen the
King, the LORD of hosts.
6Then flew one of the seraphims unto me,
having a live coal in his hand, which he
had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7And he laid it upon
my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips;
and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin
purged.
8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said
I, Here am I;
send me.
9And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear
ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed,
but perceive not.
10Make the heart of this people fat, and 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 convert, and be
healed.
11Then said I, Lord, how long? And he
answered, Until the cities be wasted without
inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land
be utterly desolate,
12And the LORD have removed men far away,
and there
be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13But yet in it shall
be a tenth, and it shall
return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as
an oak, whose substance is in
them, when they cast their
leaves: so the holy seed shall
be the substance thereof.
