  • Isa 6:2-9 : 2 Above Him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 And they were calling to one another, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!" 4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the sound of the voices of those who called, and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 Then I said, "Woe to me! For I am ruined because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts." 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me. He had a glowing coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is removed, and your sin is atoned for." 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us?" And I said, "Here I am. Send me!" 9 And He said, "Go, and say to this people: ‘Keep listening, but do not understand; keep looking, but do not perceive.’ 10 Make the hearts of this people dull, their ears heavy, and their eyes blind; otherwise, they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back and be healed." 11 Then I said, "For how long, Lord?" And He replied, "Until cities lie ruined without inhabitants, houses are unoccupied, and the land is desolate and devastated. 12 The LORD will drive the people far away, and the abandonment in the land will be great. 13 Yet a tenth will remain in the land, and it will once again be ravaged.
