chapter 6


Chapters:


verse #1

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.


verse #2

Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.


verse #3

One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”


verse #4

The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.


verse #5

Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”


verse #6

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.


verse #7

He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”


verse #8

I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”


verse #9

He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’


verse #10

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”


verse #11

Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,


verse #12

and Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.


verse #13

If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed, as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down, so the holy seed is its stump.”
