¹In the year in which the king Uzziah was dead, I saw the Lord sitting on an high seat, and raised up; and the house of the Lord was full of his majesty, and those things that were under him filled the temple.

²Seraphim stood up on it, six wings were to one, and six wings to the other; with two wings they covered the face of him, and with two wings they covered the feet of him, and with two wings they flew.

³And they cried the one to the tother, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts; all the earth is full of his glory.

⁴And the lintels above of the hinges were moved altogether of the voice of the crier, and the house of the Lord was filled with smoke.

⁵And I said, Woe to me, for I was still; for I am a man defouled in lips, and I dwell in the midst of the people having defouled lips, and I saw with mine eyes the King, Lord of hosts.

⁶And one of the seraphim flew to me, and a burning coal was in his hand, which coal he had taken with a tong from the altar.

⁷And he touched my mouth, and said, Lo! I have touched thy lips with this coal, and thy wickedness shall be done away, and thy sin shall be cleansed.

⁸And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who shall go to you? And I said, Lo! I; send thou me.

⁹And he said, Go thou, and thou shalt say to this people, Ye hearing hear, and ye do not understand; and see ye the prophesy, and do not ye know.

¹⁰Make thou blind the heart of this people, and aggrieve thou the ears thereof, and close thou the eyes thereof; lest peradventure it see with his eyes, and hear with his ears, and understand with his heart, and it be converted, and I make it whole.

¹¹And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Till the cities be made desolate, without dweller, and houses without man. And the land shall be left desert,

¹²and the Lord shall make men afar. And that that was forsaken in the middle of the earth, shall be multiplied,

¹³and yet the tithing, either tenth part, shall be therein; and it shall be converted, and it shall be into showing, as a terebinth is, and as an oak, that spreadeth abroad his boughs; that shall be holy seed, that shall stand therein.
