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.
² Seraphim 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.
³ And one called out to another and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of armies. The whole earth is full of His glory."
⁴ And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke.
⁵ Then 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."
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.
⁷ He 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."
⁸ Then 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!"
