6In the year that King Uzziah^g died,^h I saw the Lord,ⁱ high and exalted,^j seated on a throne;^k and the train of his robe^l filled the temple. ²Above him were seraphim,^m each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet,ⁿ and with two they were flying. ³And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy^o, holy is the Lord Almighty;^p

the whole earth^q is full of his glory.”^r

⁴At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.^s

⁵“Woe^t to me!” I cried. “I am ruined!^u For I am a man of unclean lips,^v and I live among a people of unclean lips,^w and my eyes have seen^x the King,^y the Lord Almighty.”^z

⁶Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal^a in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. ⁷With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips;^b your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.^c”

⁸Then I heard the voice^d of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send?^e And who will go for us?^f”

And I said, “Here am I.^g Send me!”

Read in Logos

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!”
