Isaiah 6
The Vision and Call of
Isaiah |
1 |
In the year that king Uzzi'ah died 2 Kgs.
15.7 · 2
Chr. 26.23 I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
|
2 |
Above it stood the seraphim: each one had
six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered
his feet, and with twain he did fly.
|
3 |
And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: Rev.
4.8 the whole earth is full of his
glory.
|
4 |
And the posts of the door moved at the
voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Rev.
15.8
|
5 |
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am
undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in
the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the
King, the LORD of hosts.
|
6 |
Then flew one of the seraphim unto me,
having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the
tongs from off the altar:
|
7 |
and he laid it upon my mouth, and
said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken
away, and thy sin purged.
|
8 |
Also I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
|
9 |
And he said, Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive
not.
|
10 |
Make the heart of this people fat, and
make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and
convert, and be healed. Mt. 13.14, 15 · Mk. 4.12 · Lk. 8.10 · Joh. 12.40 · Acts 28.26, 27
|
11 |
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he
answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the
houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
|
12 |
and the LORD have
removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the
midst of the land.
|
13 |
But yet in it shall be a tenth,
and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and
as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance
thereof.
