Isaiah's Vision of the Lord

¹In the year that sKing Uzziah died I tsaw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train1 of his robe filled the temple. ²Above him stood the seraphim. Each had usix wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³And one called to another and said:

u“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;

vthe whole earth is full of his glory!”2

⁴And wthe foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and xthe house was filled with smoke. ⁵And I said: “Woe is me! yFor I am lost; zfor 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 aKing, the Lord of hosts!”

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

Isaiah's Commission from the Lord
