Isaiah 6:5 - Barnes' Notes

Isaiah 6:5

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!”

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.”

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.”

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.”

9 And He said, “Go, and ^atell this people:
‘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.”

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered:
^a“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,

12 ^aThe Lord has removed men far away,
And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

13 But yet a tenth will be in it,
And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So ^athe holy seed shall be its stump.”
