    Isaiah’s Vision of the Lord

    6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

      “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
      the whole earth is full of his glory!”

    4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for 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 burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

    Isaiah’s Commission from the Lord

    8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” 9 And he said, “Go, and say to 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 blind their eyes;
      lest they see with their eyes,
        and hear with their ears,
      and understand with their hearts,
        and turn and be healed.”
    11   Then I said, “How long, O Lord?”
      And he said:
      “Until cities lie waste
        without inhabitant,
      and houses without people,
        and the land is a desolate waste,
    12   and the LORD removes people far away,
        and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
    13   And though a tenth remain in it,
        it will be burned again,
      like a terebinth or an oak,
        whose stump remains
        when it is felled.”
      The holy seed is its stump.
