VI. 1 In the year that king Uzziah died saw I the Lord sitting ’upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Seraphim stood above him; 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 kept crying unto another, and saying, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of his glory.
4 And the bases of the thresholds were shaken at the voice (of him) that cried, and the house began to fill with smoke.
5 And 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 mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.
6 And there flew one of the seraphim unto me, and in his ’ hand a live coal, which. he had taken with the tongs from OH the altar;
7 And he made it touch my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin atoned for.
8 And 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 say to this people, Certainly hear ye, but understand not; and see ye, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and makeitheir ears heavy, and smear over their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and one heal them.
11 And I said, Until when, Lord? And he said, Until the cities be wasted, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 And the LORD removed men far away, and great be the forsaken (tract) in the midst of the land.
13 And still in it (there is) a tenth, and it shall turn again, and be for consuming: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock is in them when they are felled: a holy seed is the stock thereof.
