Isaiah 6
A Vision of God in the Temple
1 #
1 Kings 22.19; 2 Kings 15.7; Isa 1.1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty, and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2#Ezek 1.11; Rev 4.8Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3#Ps 72.19; Rev 4.8And one called to another and said,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4The pivots#6.4 Meaning of Heb uncertain on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. 5#Ex 33.20; Jer 9.3–8; 51.57And I said, “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”
6Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7#Isa 40.2; Jer 1.9; 1 Jn 1.7The seraph#6.7 Heb He touched my mouth with it and said, “Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.” 8#Ezek 10.5; Acts 9.4; 26.19Then 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!” 9#Ezek 3.11; Mt 13.14, 15; Mk 4.12; Lk 8.10; Jn 12.40; Rom 11.8And he said, “Go and say to this people:
‘Keep listening, but do not comprehend;
keep looking, but do not understand.’

Ps 119.70; Jer 5.21 Make the mind of this people dull,
and stop their ears,
and shut their eyes,
so that they may not look with their eyes
and listen with their ears
and comprehend with their minds
and turn and be healed.”
11 #
Mic 3.12
Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said,
“Until cities lie waste
without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is utterly desolate;
12 #
Jer 4.29
until the Lord sends everyone far away,
and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land.
13 #
Ezra 9.2; Job 14.7; Isa 1.9 Even if a tenth part remain in it,
it will be burned again,
like a terebinth or an oak
whose stump remains standing
when it is felled.”#6.13 Meaning of Heb uncertain
(The holy seed is its stump.)
