Isaiah's Vision and Commission

Isaiah 6:1-13

6
Chapter 6
1 In the year of King Uzziah's death, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and his hems filling the temple. 2 Seraphim were standing above him; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 One called to the other and said, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory." 4 And the thresholds of the doorposts shook at the voice of the one who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then I said, "Woe to me, for I am undone! 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." 6 One of the seraphim flew to me, with a glowing coal in his hand that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 He touched my mouth and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is atoned for." 8 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: 'Hear hearing and not understand, and see seeing and not know.'" 10 Make the heart of this people fat and its ears heavy and its eyes blind, lest he see with his eyes and with his ears hear and his heart understand and turn and heal him. 11 I said, "Until when, my Lord?" He said, "Until cities are laid waste without inhabitant and houses without man, and the land bears desolation." 12 The LORD distanced humanity, and desolation multiplied in the midst of the land. 13 And yet in it a tenth, and it will return and be for purging like a terebinth and like an oak, which in shedding leaves a stump remaining in them; a holy seed is its stump.
