Isaiah 6:1–8

¹In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. ²Seraphim were standing above him: each had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he flew. ³And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory! ⁴And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

⁵And I said, Woe unto 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 mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts. ⁶And one of the seraphim flew unto me, and he had in his hand a glowing coal, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar; ⁷and he made it touch my mouth, and said, Behold, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated. ⁸And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I; send me.
