^aIn the year that king ^bUzziah died ^cI saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. ²Above it stood the seraphims: each one had ^dsix wings; ^ewith twain he covered his face, and ^fwith twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. ³And one cried unto another, and said,

^gHoly, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:

^hⁱThe whole earth is full of his glory.

⁴And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and ^kthe house was filled with smoke. ⁵^lThen 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 ^mthe King, the Lord of hosts. ⁶Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off ⁿthe altar: ⁷and he ^olaid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and ^pthy sin purged. ⁸Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for ^qus? ^rThen I said, ^sHere am I; send me.

Isaiah 6:5: And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; 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!”
