- Kapitel 6 -

(Matthew 13:10–17; Mark 4:10–12; Acts 28:16–31)

In the year that king Azariah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne; he was high and elevated, and the hem of his robe filled the temple.

Above him were the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two each covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

Each one called to another and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory.”

The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voices of those who were crying out, and the house was filled with smoke.

Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am doomed because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, because my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of hosts!”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me; he had a glowing coal in his hand, that he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.

He touched my mouth with it and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt has been taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

I heard the voice of the Lord say, “Whom shall I send; who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am; send me.”

He said, “Go and tell this people, ‘Listen, but do not understand; see, but do not perceive.’

Make the heart of this people insensitive, and their ears dull, and blind their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and then turn and be healed.”

Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities crash into ruins and are without inhabitants, and the houses are without people, and the land falls into a desolate waste,

and until Yahweh has sent the people far away, and the solitude of the land is great.

Even if a tenth of the people remain in it, it will again be destroyed; as a terebinth or an oak is cut down and whose trunk remains, the holy seed is in its stump.”

(Matthew 13:10–17; Mark 4:10–12; Acts 28:16–31)

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.

Above 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.

One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”

The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

Then 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, the LORD of Armies!”

Then 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.

He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”

I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”

He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,

and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.

If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed, as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down, so the holy seed is its stump.”
