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 seraphims:
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 seraphims
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 hath 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.
