Isaiah 6 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Isaiah’s Vision

(cf. Eze 1:4–28 )
Isa 6:1

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

Isa 6:2Seraphim were standing above Him, each having six wings: with two each covered his face, and with two each covered his feet, and with two each flew.
Isa 6:3And one called out to another and said,

“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of armies.

The [fn]whole earth is full of His glory.”

Isa 6:4

And the [fn]foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the [fn]temple was filling with smoke.

Isa 6:5Then I said,

“Woe to me, for I am ruined!

Because I am a man of unclean lips,

And I live among a people of unclean lips;

For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of armies.”

Isa 6:6

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

Isa 6:7He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your guilt is taken away and atonement is made for your sin.”

Isaiah’s Commission

Isa 6:8Then 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!”
Isa 6:9And He said, “Go, and tell this people:

‘Keep on listening, but do not understand;

And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’

Isa 6:10

“Make the hearts of this people [fn]insensitive,

Their ears [fn]dull,

And their eyes [fn]blind,

So that they will not see with their eyes,

Hear with their ears,

Understand with their hearts,

And return and be healed.”

Isa 6:11

Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered,

“Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant,

Houses are without people

And the land is utterly desolate,

Isa 6:12

The LORD has completely removed people,

And there [fn]are many forsaken places in the midst of the land.

Isa 6:13

“Yet there will still be a tenth portion in it,

And it will again be subject to burning,

Like a terebinth or an oak

Whose stump remains when it is cut down.

The holy seed is its stump.”
