CHAPTER 6
Isaiah Called to Be a Prophet
Isaiah’s Vision and Commission
(cf. Ezek. 1:4–28 )
​
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to 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 shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said:
​
​​“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 my eyes have seen the King,
​​The LORD of hosts.”
​
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said:
​
​​“Behold, this has touched your lips;
​​Your iniquity is taken away,
​​And your sin purged.”
​
8 Also 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:
​
​‘​Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
​​Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
​
10 ​​“Make the heart of this people dull,
​​And their ears heavy,
​​And shut their eyes;
​​Lest they see with their eyes,
​​And hear with their ears,
​​And understand with their heart,
​​And return and be healed.”
​
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?”
And He answered:
​
​​“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
​​The houses are without a man,
​​The land is utterly desolate,
12 ​​The LORD has removed men far away,
​​And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 ​​But yet a tenth will be in it,
​​And will return and be for consuming,
​​As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
​​Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
​​So the holy seed shall be its stump.”
