Isaiah’s Vision of the Lord (ISA 6:1-7)

[6:1] In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

[6:2] Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

[6:3] And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”

[6:4] And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

[6:5] And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for 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 King, the Lord of hosts!”

[6:6] Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.

[6:7] And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
