Isaiah 6:1–9
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 the LORD 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, the LORD 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.’↗
