Isaiah 6

1And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died,that I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory. 2And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they coveredtheir face, and with two they coveredtheir feet, and with two they flew. 3And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holyis the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke. 5And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having uncleanlips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, theLord of hosts. 6And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he hadtaken off the altar with the tongs: 7and he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take awayyour iniquities, and will purge off your sins. 8And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to thispeople? And I said, behold, I amhere, send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people, 9You⌃ shall hear indeed, but you⌃ shall not understand; and you⌃ shall see indeed, butyou⌃ shall not perceive. 10For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, andtheir eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understandwith their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 11And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of theirnot being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate. 12And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the landshall be multiplied. 13And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentinetree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
