“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.”
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin1 purged.”
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for aUs?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
