1 In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with
the train of His robe filling the temple. 2 Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings:
with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And
one called out to another and said,
“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts,
The whole earth is full of His glory.”
4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while
the temple was filling with smoke. 5 Then I said,
“Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken
from the altar with tongs. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched
your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”
8 Then 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 He said,
“Go, and tell this people…”
Isaiah 6:1-9
