NASB Bible

Isaiah 6

Isaiah's Vision

1

In the year of  aKing Uzziah's death  bI saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.

2

Seraphim stood above Him,  aeach having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

3

And one called out to another and said, " aHoly, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The  1 bwhole earth is full of His glory."

4

And the  1foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the  2 atemple was filling with smoke.

5

Then I said, " aWoe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of  bunclean lips, And I live among a  cpeople of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the  dKing, the LORD of hosts."

6

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the  aaltar with tongs.

7

He  atouched my mouth with it and said, "Behold, this has touched your lips; and  byour iniquity is taken away and your sin is  1forgiven."

Isaiah's Commission

8

Then I heard the  avoice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then  bI said, "Here am I. Send me!"

9

He said, "Go, and tell this people: `Keep on  alistening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand.'

10

aRender the hearts of this people  1 binsensitive, Their ears  2dull, And their eyes  3dim,  cOtherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed."

11

Then I said, "Lord,  ahow long?" And He answered, "Until  bcities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are without people And the land is utterly desolate,

12

"The LORD has  aremoved men far away, And the  1 bforsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

13

"Yet there will be a tenth portion in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an  aoak Whose stump remains when it is felled. The  bholy seed is its stump."
