“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.’
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.”

Isaiah 6:8
I . . . us—The change of number indicates the Trinity (compare Genesis 1:26; Genesis 11:7). Though not a sure argument for the doctrine, for the plural may indicate merely majesty, it accords with that truth proved elsewhere.
Whom . . . who—implying that few would be willing to bear the self-denial which the delivering of such an unwelcome message to the Jews would require on the part of the messenger (compare I Chronicles 29:5).
Here am I—prompt zeal, now that he has been specially qualified for it (Isaiah 6:7; compare I Samuel 3:10-11; Acts 9:6).
