# Isaiah 6

*A vision of the Lord in his glory—Promise to the remnant.*

**1** In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
**2** Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
**3** And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.
**4** And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
**5** Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
**6** Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
**7** And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
**8** Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
**9** And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not.
**10** Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and convert, and be healed.
**11** Then said I, Lord, how long? And he said, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
**12** And the Lord have removed men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
**13** But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall be eaten; as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves; so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
