| Isaiah 6: (ASV) |
| 1) In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. |
| 2) Above him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. |
| 3) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. |
| 4) And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. |
| 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 mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts. |
| 6) Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: |
| 7) and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven. |
| 8) And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me. |
| 9) 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 turn again, and be healed. |
| 11) Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste, |
| 12) and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land. |
| 13) And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof. |
