The book of
Prophet Isaiah Chapter 6.
1 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.
2 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.
3 And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the
whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved 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, the LORD of hosts.
6 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:
7 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.
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.
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 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. |
