The Bible

Isaiah Chapter 6

¹In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw LordOfMine sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. ²Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. ³One called to another, and said,
"Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies!
The whole earth is full of his glory!"

⁴The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. ⁵Then I said, "Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!"

⁶Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. ⁷He touched my mouth with it, and said, "See, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is removed, and your sin forgiven."

⁸I heard LordOfMine's voice, saying, "Who will I send, and who will go for us?"

Then I said, "Here I am. Send me!"

⁹He said, "Go, and tell this people,
'You keep hearing,
but don't understand.
You keep seeing,
but never perceive.'
¹⁰Make the heart of this people fat.
Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes;
otherwise they'll see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and turn again, and be healed."

¹¹Then I said, "LordOfMine, how long?"

He answered,
"Until cities are waste without inhabitant,
houses without man,
the land becomes utterly waste,
¹²and Yahweh has removed men far away,
and there are many forsaken places in the land.
¹³Though a tenth remains in it,
it will in turn be consumed again,
like a terebinth or an oak whose stump remains when it's cut down,
so the holy offspring is its stump."
