1 In the year of King Uzziah's death, I saw the sovereign master seated on a high, elevated throne. The hem of his robe filled the temple. 2 Seraphs stood over him; each one had six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and they used the remaining two to fly. 3 They called out to one another, |Holy, holy, holy is the Lord who commands armies! His majestic splendor fills the entire earth!| 4 The sound of their voices shook the door frames, and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 I said, |Too bad for me! I am destroyed, for my lips are contaminated by sin, and I live among people whose lips are contaminated by sin. My eyes have seen the king, the LORD who commands armies.| 6 But then one of the seraphs flew toward me. In his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said, |Look, this coal has touched your lips. Your evil is removed; your sin is forgiven.| Isaiah 6:1-7, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
