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

6:1 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.
6:2 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.
6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD
of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
6:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and
the house was filled with smoke.
6:5 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.
6:6 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:
6:7 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.
6:8 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.
6:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but
understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
6:10 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.
6:11 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,
6:12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great
forsaking in the midst of the land.
6:13 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.
