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.| 8 I heard the voice of the sovereign master say, |Whom will I send? Who will go on our behalf?| I answered, |Here I am, send me!| Isaiah 6:5-8, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
