1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, and His robe filled the temple. 1In 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.
2Seraphim were standing above Him; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.2Above 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.
3And one called to another: Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; His glory fills the whole earth. 3And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4The foundations of the doorways shook at the sound of their voices, and the temple was filled with smoke. 4And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5Then I said: Woe is me for I am ruined because I am a man of unclean lips and live among a people of unclean lips, and because my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts. 5Then 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.
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs. 6Then 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:
7He touched my mouth with it and said: Now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed and your sin is atoned for. 7And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for Us? I said: Here I am. Send me. 8Also 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.
9And He replied: Go! Say to these people: Keep listening, but do not understand; keep looking, but do not perceive. 9And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10Dull the minds of these people; deafen their ears and blind their eyes; otherwise they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears, understand with their minds, turn back, and be healed. 10Make 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 heart, and convert, and be healed.
11Then I said, "Until when, Lord?" And He replied: Until cities lie in ruins without inhabitants, houses are without people, the land is ruined and desolate, 11Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12and the LORD drives the people far away, leaving great emptiness in the land. 12And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13Though a tenth will remain in the land, it will be burned again. Like the terebinth or the oak that leaves a stump when felled, the holy seed is the stump. 13But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it 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.
