Isa 6:4The sound of their voices shook the door frames, and the temple was filled with smoke.

Isa 6:5

Isa 6:5I said, "Too bad for me! I am destroyed, for my lips are contaminated by sin, and I live among people whose lips are contaminated by sin. My eyes have seen the king, the LORD who commands armies."

Isa 6:6

Isa 6:6But then one of the seraphs flew toward me. In his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.
