1IN THE YEAR OF KING UZZIAH'S DEATH I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the skirt of his robe filled the temple. 2About him were attendant seraphim, and each had six wings; one pair covered his face and one pair his feet, and one pair was spread in flight. 3They were calling ceaselessly to one another,Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts:
4And, as each one called, the threshold shook to its foundations, while the house was filled with smoke. 5Then I cried,
the whole earth is full of his glory.Woe is me! I am lost,
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me carrying in his hand a glowing coal which he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7He touched my mouth with it and said,
for I am a man of unclean lips
and I dwell among a people of unclean lips;
yet with these eyes I have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.See, this has touched your lips;
8Then I heard the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? Who will go for me? And I answered, Here am I; send me. 9He said, Go and tell this people:
your iniquity is removed,
and your sin is wiped away.
