Isaiah:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the year that King Uzziah died ,
I saw the Lord sitting on a throne ,
high and lifted up ,
and the train of His robe filled the temple .
*
Above it stood seraphim ;
each one had six wings :
with two he covered his face ,
with two he covered his feet ,
and with two he flew .
*
And one cried to another and said : "
Holy ,
holy ,
holy is the LORD of hosts ;
The whole earth is full of His glory !"
*
And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out ,
and the house was filled with smoke .
*
So 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 ,
The LORD of hosts ."
*
Then one of the seraphim flew to me ,
having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar .
*
And he touched my mouth with it ,
and said : "
Behold ,
this has touched your lips ;
Your iniquity is taken away ,
And your sin purged ."
*
Also 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 ."
*
And He said , "
Go ,
and tell this people : "
Keep on hearing ,
but do not understand ;
Keep on seeing ,
but do not perceive .'
* "
Make the heart of this people dull ,
And their ears heavy ,
And shut their eyes ;
Lest they see with their eyes ,
And hear with their ears ,
And understand with their heart ,
And return and be healed ."
*
Then I said , "
Lord ,
how long ?"
And He answered : "
Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant ,
The houses are without a man ,
The land is utterly desolate ,
*
The LORD has removed men far away ,
And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land .
*
But yet a tenth will be in it ,
And will return and be for consuming ,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak ,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down .
So the holy seed shall be its stump ."
