Isaiah 6
6
1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated in majesty on a high throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2Seraphim#6:2. Literally, “shining ones.” stood above him, and each of them had six wings: They used two wings to cover their faces, two to cover their feet, and two to fly. 3They were calling out to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; his glory fills the whole earth. 4The sound of their shouts made the doorposts and doorsteps shake, and the Temple was filled with smoke.
5I cried out, “I'm doomed! I'm going to die because I'm a man of unclean lips,#6:5. “Unclean lips”: symbolizing imperfection. and I live among a people of unclean lips, for I've seen the King, the Lord Almighty!”
6Then one of the seraphim flew over to me. He was holding a glowing coal that he had picked up with tongs from the altar. 7He touched me on my mouth with it and told me, “Look! This has touched your lips, so now your guilt is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”
8Then I heard the Lord asking, “Who shall I send? Who will go and speak#6:8. “And speak”: supplied for clarity. for us?” So I said, “I'm here! Please send me!”
9He replied, “Go and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but never understanding. Keep on seeing, but never comprehending.’ 10Make the minds of this people insensitive; make their ears deaf and shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their minds, and repent and be healed.”
11Then I asked, “How long will this last, Lord?”
He replied, “Until towns are ruined and empty, houses are abandoned, and the land is devastated and destroyed; 12until the Lord sends the people far away and the country is totally deserted. 13Even though a tenth of the population remains in the land, it will be destroyed again. But in the same way as the terebinth and oak trees leave stumps when they're cut down, so the holy seed will remain as a stump.”

The Commission of Isaiah
1#Jn 12:41; 2Ki 15:7In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. 2#Rev 4:8; Ps 103:20Above 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. 3#Ps 72:19; Nu 14:21One cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts;
the whole earth is full of His glory.”
4#Rev 15:8; Am 9:1The posts of the door moved at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5#Ex 33:20; Jer 9:3–8And I said: “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 my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.”
6#Rev 8:3–5Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar in his hand. 7#Jer 1:9; Da 10:16And he laid it on my mouth, and said, “This has touched your lips, and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.”
8#Ge 1:26; 3:22Also 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.”
9#Lk 8:10; Mt 13:14–15He said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10#Jer 5:21; Dt 32:15; Mt 13:15 Make the heart of this people dull,
and their ears heavy,
and shut their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their heart,
and turn and be healed.”
11#Isa 1:7; Ps 79:5Then I said, “Lord, how long?”
And He answered:
“Until the cities are laid waste
without inhabitants,
and the houses without man,
and the land is utterly desolate,
12#Jer 4:29 and the Lord has removed men far away,
and there is a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13#Ezr 9:2; Isa 1:9 But yet in it shall be a tenth,
and it shall return, and shall be burned,
as a terebinth tree or as an oak,
whose stump remains when it is cut down,
so the holy seed is its stump.”
