Isaiah's Vision of the Lord

Isaiah 6

1 In the year that a King Uzziah died, I b saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, c with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

3 And one cried to another and said:
d "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
e The whole earth is full of His glory!"

4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said:
"Woe is me, for I am 1 undone!
Because I am a man of f 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."

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from g the altar. 7 And he h touched my mouth with it, and said:
"Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin 2 purged."
