Judah’s Encounter with Adonai
1In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw Adonai sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Temple.
2Seraphim were standing above Him. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3One called out to another, and said: “Holy, holy, holy, is Adonai-Tzva’ot! The whole earth is full of His glory.”
4Then the posts of the door trembled at the voice of those who called, and the House was filled with smoke.
5Then I said: “Oy to me! For I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I am dwelling among a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, Adonai-Tzva’ot!”
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, with a glowing coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 He touched my mouth with it and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips. Your iniquity is taken away, and your sins atoned for.”
8Then I heard the voice of Adonai saying: “Whom should I send, and who will go for Us?” So I said, “Hineni. Send me.”
9Then He said: “Go! Tell this people: ‘Hear without understanding, and see without perceiving.’
10Make the heart of this people fat, their ears heavy, and their eyes blind. Else they would see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return, and be healed.”
11Then I said, “Adonai, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, houses are without people, and the land is utterly desolate.
12Adonai will drive people far away. The desertion of the land will be vast.
13Though a tenth still be in it, it will again be burned. As a terebinth tree or as an oak whose stump remains when cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump.”

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.”
