Isaiah Called to Be a Prophet
1 In the year that aKing Uzziah died, I bsaw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, awith two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 And one cried to another and said:
a“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
bThe whole earth is full of His glory!”
a“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
bThe whole earth is full of His glory!”
4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am1 undone!
Because I am a man of aunclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
“Woe is me, for I am1 undone!
Because I am a man of aunclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from athe altar.
7 And he atouched my mouth with it, and said:
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin1 purged.”
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin1 purged.”
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for aUs?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for aUs?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
9 And He said, “Go, and atell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10 “Make athe heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
bLest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
bLest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
