Isaiah’s Call and Mission

6 In the year that King Uzziah^(A) died, I saw the Lord^(B) seated on a high and lofty^(C) throne,^(D) and the hem of his robe filled the temple. ² Seraphim^[a] were standing above him; they each had six wings:^(E) with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew.^{(F) 3} And one called to another:

⁴ The foundations of the doorways shook^(I) at the sound of their voices, and the temple was filled with smoke.

⁵ Then I said:

⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken from the altar^(L) with tongs.

⁴⁵ A good person produces good out of the good stored up in his heart. An evil person produces evil out of the evil stored up in his heart, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.
