Isaiah 6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, and His robe filled the temple. 2Seraphim were standing above Him; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

3And one called to another: Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; His glory fills the whole earth.

4The foundations of the doorways shook at the sound of their voices, and the temple was filled with smoke.

5Then I said: Woe is me for I am ruined because I am a man of unclean lips and live among a people of unclean lips, and because my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.

6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs. 7He touched my mouth with it and said: Now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed and your sin is atoned for.

8Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for Us? I said: Here I am. Send me.

9And He replied: Go! Say to these people: Keep listening, but do not understand; keep looking, but do not perceive.

10Dull the minds of these people; deafen their ears and blind their eyes; otherwise they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears, understand with their minds, turn back, and be healed.

11Then I said, "Until when, Lord?" And He replied: Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants, houses are without people, the land is ruined and desolate,

12and the LORD drives the people far away, leaving great emptiness in the land.

13Though a tenth will remain in the land, it will be burned again. Like the terebinth or the oak that leaves a stump when felled, the holy seed is the stump.
