Isaiah 6

Isaiah’s Vision of the Lord
1In the year that #ch. 1:1; 2 Chr. 26:16-21 King Uzziah died I #[John 12:41]saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train#6:1 Or hem of his robe filled the temple. 2Above him stood the seraphim. Each had #Rev. 4:8six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said:
# [See ver. 2 above] “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
#
Ps. 72:19
the whole earth is full of his glory!”#6:3 Or may his glory fill the whole earth
4And #Amos 9:1 the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and #1 Kgs. 8:10, 11; Rev. 15:8; [Ex. 19:18]the house was filled with smoke. 5And I said: “Woe is me! #[Judg. 13:22] For I am lost; #[Luke 5:8] 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 #ch. 33:17; Jer. 10:10; [1 Sam. 12:12]King, the Lord of hosts!”
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7And he #Jer. 1:9; Dan. 10:16touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
Isaiah’s Commission from the Lord
8And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for #See Gen. 1:26us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” 9And he said, “Go, and say to this people:
# Cited Matt. 13:14, 15; Acts 28:26, 27; [Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10; Rom. 11:8] “‘Keep on hearing,#6:9 Or Hear indeed but do not understand;
keep on seeing,#6:9 Or see indeed but do not perceive.’
10 # Cited John 12:40 Make the heart of this people #Ps. 119:70 dull,#6:10 Hebrew fat
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
# [Jer. 5:21] lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
11Then I said, #Ps. 79:5; 89:46 “How long, O Lord?”
And he said:
“Until #[ch. 1:7; 27:10]cities lie waste
without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is a desolate waste,
12and the Lord removes people far away,
and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 # [ch. 10:22] And though a tenth remain in it,
it will be burned#6:13 Or purged again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump #[Job 14:7] remains
when it is felled.”
#
Ezra 9:2
The holy seed#6:13 Or offspring is its stump.

Isaiah 6
6
1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. 2Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. 3One called to another, and said,
“Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies!
The whole earth is full of his glory!”
4The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. 7He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
8I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”
Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”
9He said, “Go, and tell this people,
‘You hear indeed,
but don’t understand.
You see indeed,
but don’t perceive.’
10Make the heart of this people fat.
Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and turn again, and be healed.”
11Then I said, “Lord, how long?”
He answered,
“Until cities are waste without inhabitant,
houses without man,
the land becomes utterly waste,
12and Yahweh has removed men far away,
and the forsaken places are many within the land.
13If there is a tenth left in it,
that also will in turn be consumed,
as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down,
so the holy seed is its stump.”
