# Isaiah 6 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; 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 King, the LORD of hosts!” 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said: “Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste, 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. and the LORD removes people far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. 
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. And though a tenth remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak, whose stump remains when it is felled.” The holy seed is its stump.
