In 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.
02 Above 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.
03 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy,
holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth
is full of his glory.
04 And the posts of the door moved at the voice
of him that cried, and the house was filled with
smoke.
05 Then 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.
06 Then 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:
07 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo,
this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is
taken away, and thy sin purged.

08 Also 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.
09 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye
indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed,
but perceive not.
10 Make 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.
11 Then 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,
12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and
there be a great forsaking in the midst of the
land.
13 But 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.
