| 1 | In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple. |
| 2 | Above Him 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 called 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 were moved at the voice of them that called, 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 unto me one of the seraphim, with a glowing stone in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar; |
| 7 | and he touched my mouth with it, and said: Lo, this hath touched thy lips; And thine iniquity is taken away, And thy sin expiated. |
| 8 | And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, And who will go for us? Then I said: ‘Here am I; send me.’ |
| 9 | And He said: ‘Go, and tell this people: Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. |
| 10 | Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.’ |
| 11 | Then said I: ‘Lord, how long?’ And He answered: ‘Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, And the land become utterly waste, |
| 12 | And the LORD have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land. |
| 13 | And if there be yet a tenth in it, it shall again be eaten up; as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they cast their leaves, so the holy seed shall be the stock thereof.’ |
