Chapter 6

1In the year that King Uzziyahu died, I beheld my Lord seated on a high and lofty throne; and the skirts of His robe filled the Temple.

2Seraphs stood in attendance on Him. Each of them had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his legs, and with two he would fly.

3And one would call to the other, “Holy, holy, holy! the lord of Hosts! His presence fills all the earth!”

4The doorposts would shake at the sound of the one who called, and the House kept filling with smoke.

5I cried, “Woe is me; I am lost! For I am a man of unclean lips And I live among a people Of unclean lips; Yet my own eyes have beheld The King LORD of Hosts.”

6Then one of the seraphs flew over to me with a live coal, which he had taken from the mizbayach with a pair of tongs.

7He touched it to my lips and declared, “Now that this has touched your lips, Your guilt shall depart And your sin be purged away.”

8Then I heard the voice of my Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me.”
