King James VersionIsaiah6

Isaiah

1 In the year that king Uzzi­ah died I saw also the Lord sit­ting upon a throne, high and lift­ed up, and his train filled the tem­ple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: 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 the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glo­ry. 4 And the posts of the door moved 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, the LORD of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, hav­ing a live coal in his hand, which he had tak­en with the tongs from off the al­tar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine in­iq­ui­ty is tak­en away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also 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 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 see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and un­der­stand with their heart, and con­vert, and be healed. 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he an­swered, Un­til the cities be wast­ed with­out in­hab­i­tant, and the hous­es with­out man, and the land be ut­ter­ly des­o­late, 12 And the LORD have re­moved men far away, and there be a great for­sak­ing in the midst of the land. 13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall re­turn, and shall be eat­en: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose sub­stance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the sub­stance there­of.
