Isaiah 6 📜 📕 ↷
Isaiah's Commission
1 IN the year that king Ozias died, I saw our Lord sitting upon an high throne and elevated: and those things that were under him filled the temple.📜💬📚
2 Seraphims stood upon the same: six wings to one, and six wings to the other: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they flew.📜💬📚
3 And they cried one to an other, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.📜💬📚
4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, & the house was filled with smoke.📜💬📚
5 And I said: Woe is me because I have held my peace, because I am a man of polluted lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath polluted lips, and the King the Lord of hosts I have seen with mine eyes.📜💬📚
6 And one of the Seraphims flew to me, & in his hand an hot coal, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.📜💬📚
7 And he touched my mouth, and said: Behold this hath touched thy lips, and thine iniquity shall be taken away, & thy sin shall be cleansed.📜💬📚
8 And I heard the voice of our Lord saying: Whom shall I send? And who shall go for us? And I said: Lo I am here, send me.📜💬📚
9 And he said: Go, and thou shalt say to this people: Hear ye that hear, and understand not: and see the vision, & know it not.📜💬📚
10 Blind the heart of this people, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest perhaps they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.📜💬📚
11 And I said: How long Lord? And he said: Until the cities be made desolate without inhabiter, and the houses without man, and the land shall be left desert.📜💬📚
12 And our Lord shall make men go far off, and he shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth.📜💬📚
13 And yet there shall be tithing in it, and she shall be converted, and shall be to the shew as a terebinth, and as an oak, that spreadeth his boughs: that which shall stand in it, shall be an holy seed.📜💬📚
