| 6 | Revised Standard Version | |
| In the year that King Uzzi'ah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. | The call of ISAIAH. Is.6.1-13 | |
| 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. | ||
| And one called to another and said: the whole earth is full of his glory." | ||
| And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. | ||
| 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!" | ||
| Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having in his hand a burning coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar. | ||
| And he touched my mouth, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven." | ||
| And 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." | ||
| 'Hear and hear, but do not understand; see and see, but do not perceive.' | ||
| Then I said, "How long, O Lord?" And he said: and houses without men, and the land is utterly desolate, | ||
| and the LORD removes men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. | ||
| And though a tenth remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak, whose stump remains standing when it is felled." The holy seed is its stump. | ||
