[[Isaiah 5|<< Isaiah 5]] | [[Isaiah|Isaiah]] | [[Isaiah 7|Isaiah 7 >>]] ### Isaiah 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. ^1 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. ^2 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, _is_ the LORD of hosts: the whole earth _is_ full of his glory. ^3 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. ^4 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. ^5 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: ^6 7 And he laid _it_ upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. ^7 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. ^8 9 ¶ And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. ^9 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. ^10 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, ^11 12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and _there_ _be_ a great forsaking in the midst of the land. ^12 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. ^13
