Isaiah 6

Isaiah’s Vision

1 In the year of ^aKing Uzziah’s death ^bI saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. 2 Seraphim were standing above Him, ^ceach having six wings: with two each covered his face, and with two each covered his feet, and with two each flew. 3 And one called out to another and said,

“ ^dHoly, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of armies.
The ^{▼▼Lit fullness of the whole earth is His glory
,} ^fwhole earth is full of His glory.”
4 And the ^{▼▼Lit door sockets}foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the ^{▼▼Lit house
,} ⁱtemple was filling with smoke. 5 Then I said,

“ ^jWoe to me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of ^kunclean lips,
And I live among a ^lpeople of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the ^mKing, the Lord of armies.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the ⁿaltar with tongs. 7 He ^otouched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and ^pyour guilt is taken away and atonement is made for your sin.”

Isaiah’s Commission

8 Then I heard the ^qvoice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then ^rI said, “Here am I. Send me!” 9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people:

‘Keep on ^slistening, but do not understand;
And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’
10 “ ^tMake the hearts of this people ^{▼▼Lit fat
,} ^vinsensitive,
Their ears ^{▼▼Lit heavy}dull,
And their eyes ^{▼▼Lit sealed over}blind,
^ySo that they will not see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”
11 Then I said, “Lord, ^zhow long?” And He answered,

“Until ^aacities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,
12 The Lord has ^abcompletely removed people,
And there ^{▼▼Or forsakenness will be great}are many ^adforsaken places in the midst of the land.
13 “Yet there will still be a tenth portion in it,
And it will again be subject to burning,
Like a terebinth or an ^aeoak
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
The ^afholy seed is its stump.”
