6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD
sitting upon a throne, high and elevated, and his train filled
the temple.
6:2 Above it stood seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he
covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with
two he flew.
6:3 And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy [is]
the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.
6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that
cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
6:5 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 my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of
hosts.
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 And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath
touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is taken away, and thy sin
purged.
6:8 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.
6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but
understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
6:10 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.
6:11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the
cities shall be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses
without man, and the land be utterly desolate;
6:12 And the LORD shall have removed men far away, and [there
be] a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
6:13 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 of it.
