Isaiah’s Vision

1In the yearH8141 of 1KingH4428 Uzziah’sH5818 deathH4194 2I sawH7200 the LordH136 sittingH3427 on a throneH3678, loftyH7311 and exaltedH5375, with the trainH7757 of His robeH7757 fillingH4390 the templeH1964. 2SeraphimH8314 stoodH5975 aboveH4605 Him, 3eachH259 having sixH8337 wingsH3671: with twoH8147 he coveredH3680 his faceH6440, and with twoH8147 he coveredH3680 his feetH7272, and with twoH8147 he flewH5774. 3And oneH2088 calledH7121 out to anotherH2088 and saidH559, “4HolyH6918, HolyH6918, HolyH6918, is the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, The 56wholeH3605 earthH776 is fullH4393 of His gloryH3519.” 4And the 7foundationsH522 of the thresholdsH5592 trembledH5128 at the voiceH6963 of him who calledH7121 out, while the 89templeH1004 was fillingH4390 with smokeH6227. 5Then I saidH559, “10WoeH188 is me, for I am ruinedH1820! BecauseH3588 I am a manH376 of 11uncleanH2931 lipsH8193, And I liveH3427 amongH8432 a 12peopleH5971 of uncleanH2931 lipsH8193; For my eyesH5869 have seenH7200 the 13KingH4428, the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.”

6Then oneH259 of the seraphimH8314 flewH5774 to me with a burningH7531 coalH7531 in his handH3027, which he had takenH3947 from the 14altarH4196 with tongsH4457. 7He 15touchedH5060 my mouthH6310 with it and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, thisH2088 has touchedH5060 your lipsH8193; and 16your iniquityH5771 is takenH5493 awayH5493 and your sinH2403 is 17forgivenH3722.”

Isaiah’s Commission

8Then I heardH8085 the 18voiceH6963 of the LordH136, sayingH559, “WhomH4310 shall I sendH7971, and whoH4310 will goH1980 for Us?” Then 19I saidH559, “HereH2009 am I. SendH7971 me!” 9He saidH559, “GoH1980, and tellH559 thisH2088 peopleH5971: ‘KeepH8085 on 20listeningH8085, but do not perceiveH995; KeepH7200 on lookingH7200, but do not understandH3045.’1021RenderH8080 the heartsH3820 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 2223insensitiveH8080, Their earsH241 24dullH3513, And their eyesH5869 25dimH8173, 26OtherwiseH6435 they might seeH7200 with their eyesH5869, HearH8085 with their earsH241, UnderstandH995 with their heartsH3824, And returnH7725 and be healedH7495.” 11Then I saidH559, “LordH136, 27howH4970 longH5704H4970?” And He answeredH559, “UntilH5704H834H518 28citiesH5892 are devastatedH7582 and withoutH369 inhabitantH3427, HousesH1004 are withoutH369 peopleH120 And the landH127 is utterlyH8077 desolateH8077,12The LordH3068 has 29removedH7368 menH120 farH7368 away, And the 3031forsakenH5805 placesH5805 are manyH7231 in the midstH7130 of the landH776.13YetH5750 there will be a tenthH6224 portionH6224 in it, And it will againH7725 be subject to burningH1197, Like a terebinthH424 or an 32oakH437 WhoseH834 stumpH4676 remains whenH834 it is felledH7995. The 33holyH6944 seedH2233 is its stumpH4676.”
