Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah's Vision of the Lord

1 In the year that s King Uzziah died I t saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train 1 of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had u six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

3 And one called to another and said:
u "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
v the whole earth is full of his glory!" 2

4 And w the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and x the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: "Woe is me! y For I am lost; z 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 a King, the Lord of hosts!"

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he b touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."
