6:1  In the year that King Uzziah died, I then saw the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

6:2  Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

6:3  And one cried to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory."

6:4  And the foundations of the threshold shook at the voice of the one who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

6:5  Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."

6:6  Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.

6:7  And he laid it upon my mouth and said, "Lo, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin atoned for."

6:8  And I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I; send me!"

6:9  And He said, "Go, and tell this people, 'You hear indeed, but do not understand; and you see indeed, but do not perceive.'

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 hearts, and return, and be healed."

6:11  Then I said, "LORD, how long?" And He answered, "Until the cities are wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without a man, and the land is ruined—an utter desolation.

6:12  And until the LORD has removed men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

6:13  But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak being felled, yet its stump remains; so the holy seed shall be its stump."
