| [1]In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw also the Lord sitting upon an high throne, and lifted up, and the lower parts thereof filled the temple. |
[1]And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, that I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory. |
| [2]The seraphims stood upon it: every one had six wings: with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. |
[2]And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered their face, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. |
| [3]And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole world is full of his glory. |
[3]And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. |
| [4]And the lintels of the door cheeks moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. |
[4]And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke. |
| [5]Then I said, Woe is me: for I am undone, because I am a man of polluted lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of polluted lips: for mine eyes have seen the king and Lord of hosts. |
[5]And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts. |
| [6]Then flew one of the seraphims unto me with an hot coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with the tongs: |
[6]And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs: |
| [7]And he touched my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips, and thine iniquity shall be taken away, and thy sin shall be purged. |
[7]and he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched thy lips, and will take away thine iniquities, and will purge off thy sins. |
| [8]Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who shall go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me. |
[8]And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am here, send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people, |
| [9]And he said, Go, and say unto this people, Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand: ye shall plainly see, and not perceive. |
[9]Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand; and ye shall see indeed, but ye shall not perceive. |
| [10]Make the heart of this people fat, make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and convert, and he heal them. |
[10]For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. |
| [11]Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, |
[11]And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate. |
| [12]And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great desolation in the midst of the land. |
[12]And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied. |
| [13]But yet in it shall be a tenth, and shall return, and shall be eaten up as an elm or an oak, which have a substance in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. |
[13]And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk. |
