Isaiah 6

Isaiah 6

I saw the Lord sit high upon a throne.

A seraphim with six wings, twain and twain

Cried: "Holy is the Lord!" His glory— shone.

The doorposts moved; the house was filled with smoke.

Then said I: "Wo is me, Of unclean lips!"

An angel with a live coal flew and spoke:

"Thy sin is purged, Lo, this has touched thy lips."

"Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?"

Said God. Then I said: "Here am I; send me."

He said, "They will not understand, or see

Make their hearts fat." Then said I: "Lord, how long?"

"Until the cities desolate wastes be;

And shall be eaten, as a linden tree.

They cast their leaves; so holy seed shall be."
