1

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

2

Above him stood the seraphim: 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 cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

4

And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

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, Jehovah of hosts.

6

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

7

and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven.

8

And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me.

9

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

10

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

11

Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,

12

and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.

13

And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.

About Isaiah 6

In the year King Uzziah died, Isaiah sees the Lord on His throne, high and lifted up; seraphim cry "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!" Isaiah cries "Woe is me! I am undone!" for he's a man of unclean lips; a seraph touches his lips with a burning coal from the altar. God asks "Whom shall I send?" Isaiah responds "Here am I, send me!" Commissioned to preach to people who will hear but not understand. The message will harden hearts until cities lie waste without inhabitant; yet a holy seed remains like a stump when a tree is felled.
