Yeshayah 6
6
1In the year that the Melech Uziyah died, I saw Adonoi sitting upon a kisse, high and lifted up, and His robe filled the Heikhal.
2Above Him stood ministering the#6:2 flaming seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
3And one cried unto another, and said, Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, is Hashem Tzva'os; kol ha'aretz is full of His kavod.
4And the doorposts shook at the voice of him that cried, and the Beis#6:4 Hamikdash was filled with smoke.
5Then said I, Oy (Woe) is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen HaMelech, Hashem Tzva'os.
6Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his yad, which he had taken with the tongs from off the Mizbe'ach:
7And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Hinei, this hath touched thy lips; and thine avon (iniquity) is taken away, and kapporah is made for the purging of thy chattat (sin).
8Also I heard the voice of Adonoi, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then said I, Hineini; send me.
9And He said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but perceive not.
10Make the lev HaAm hazeh stubborn, and make their ears stopped up, their eyes heavy; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their lev. And have a spiritual turnaround conversion, and be healed.
11Then cried I, Adonoi, ad mosai (how much longer [will this go on])? And He answered, Until the towns be wasted without inhabitant, and the batim (houses) are without man, and the ground be utterly desolate, a wilderness,
12And Hashem have removed men far away, and there be many forsaken places within the land.
13But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall be given up to destruction, like the terebinth and like the oak, when they are felled, leave#6:13 as a remnant a root-stump: so the root-stump shall be the zera kodesh.#6:13 T.N. This next chapter is possibly the most important in the Bible and is dealt with in The Translator to the Reader.

Isaiah 6
6
Isaiah’s Commission
1In the year of the death of Uzziah the king, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and raised throne, and the hem of his robe was filling the temple. 2Seraphs were standing above him. Each had six wings:#Literally “six wings six wings for one” with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3And the one called to the other and said,
“Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh of hosts!
The whole earth is full of his glory.”#Literally “fullness of all of the earth glory him”
4And the pivots of the thresholds shook from the sound of those who called, and the house#Or “temple” was filled with smoke.
5And I said, “Woe to me! For I am destroyed!#Or “silenced” For I am a man of unclean lips,#Literally “unclean of lips” and I am living among#With an emphatic sense: “in the very heart and midst of” a people of unclean lips,#Literally “unclean of lips” for my eyes have seen the king, Yahweh of hosts!”
6Then one of the seraphs flew to me, and in his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.
7And he touched my mouth, and he said,
“Look! This has touched your lips
and has removed your guilt,
and your sin is annulled.”
8Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?”
And I said,
“I am here!
Send me!”
9And he said, “Go and say to this people,
‘Keep on listening and do not comprehend!
And keep on looking and do not understand!’
10Make the heart of this people insensitive,
and make its ears unresponsive,
and shut its eyes
so that it may not look with its eyes
and listen with its ears
and comprehend with its mind
and turn back, and it may be healed for him.”
11Then I said, “Until when, Lord?”
And he said,
“Until the cities lie wasted without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is ruined and a waste,
12and Yahweh sends the people far away,
and the abandonment is great in the midst of the land.
13And even if only a tenth part remain,#Literally “still in her a tenth” again she will be destroyed#Literally “and she will again and she will be to burn”
like a terebinth or like an oak,
which although felled, a tree stump remains in them.
The seed of holiness will be her tree stump.”
