Isaiah 6
New King James Version
Isaiah Called to Be a Prophet(A)
6 In the year that (B)King Uzziah died, I (C)saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, (D)with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:
4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am [a]undone!
Because I am a man of (G)unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from (H)the altar. 7 And he (I)touched my mouth with it, and said:
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin [b]purged.”
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for (J)Us?”
Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
9 And He said, “Go, and (K)tell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10 “Make (L)the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
(M)Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?”
And He answered:
(N)“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,
12 (O)The Lord has removed men far away,
And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 But yet a tenth will be in it,
And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So (P)the holy seed shall be its stump.”

Isaiah 6
King James Version
6 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
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,
12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
Jesaja 6
Schlachter 2000
Jesaja schaut den Herrn und wird von ihm berufen
6 Im Todesjahr des Königs Ussija sah ich den Herrn sitzen auf einem hohen und erhabenen Thron, und seine Säume[a] erfüllten den Tempel.
2 Seraphim standen über ihm; jeder von ihnen hatte sechs Flügel: mit zweien bedeckten sie ihr Angesicht, mit zweien bedeckten sie ihre Füße, und mit zweien flogen sie.
3 Und einer rief dem anderen zu und sprach: Heilig, heilig, heilig ist der Herr der Heerscharen[b]; die ganze Erde ist erfüllt von seiner Herrlichkeit!
4 Da erbebten die Pfosten der Schwellen von der Stimme des Rufenden, und das Haus wurde mit Rauch erfüllt.
5 Da sprach ich: Wehe mir, ich vergehe[c]! Denn ich bin ein Mann mit unreinen Lippen und wohne unter einem Volk, das unreine Lippen hat; denn meine Augen haben den König, den Herrn der Heerscharen, gesehen!
6 Da flog einer der Seraphim zu mir, und er hielt eine glühende Kohle in seiner Hand, die er mit der Zange vom Altar genommen hatte;
7 und er berührte meinen Mund [damit] und sprach: Siehe, dies hat deine Lippen berührt; deine Schuld ist von dir genommen und deine Sünde gesühnt!
8 Und ich hörte die Stimme des Herrn fragen: Wen soll ich senden, und wer wird für uns gehen? Da sprach ich: Hier bin ich, sende mich!
9 Und er sprach: Geh und sprich zu diesem Volk: Hört immerfort und versteht nicht, seht immerzu und erkennt nicht![d]
10 Mache das Herz dieses Volkes unempfänglich, und mache seine Ohren schwer[e] und verklebe seine Augen, damit es mit seinen Augen nicht sieht und mit seinen Ohren nicht hört, und damit sein Herz nicht zur Einsicht kommt und es sich nicht bekehrt und für sich Heilung findet!
11 Und ich fragte: Wie lange, Herr? Er antwortete: Bis die Städte verwüstet liegen, sodass niemand mehr darin wohnt, und die Häuser menschenleer sein werden und das Land in eine Einöde verwandelt ist.
12 Denn der Herr wird die Menschen weit wegführen, und die Verödung inmitten des Landes wird groß sein.
13 Und bleibt noch ein Zehntel darin, so fällt auch dieses wiederum der Vertilgung anheim. Aber wie die Terebinthe und die Eiche beim Fällen doch noch ihren Wurzelstock behalten, so bleibt ein heiliger Same als Wurzelstock!
Isaiah 6
New International Version
Isaiah’s Commission
6 In the year that King Uzziah(A) died,(B) I saw the Lord,(C) high and exalted,(D) seated on a throne;(E) and the train of his robe(F) filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim,(G) each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet,(H) and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.(M)
5 “Woe(N) to me!” I cried. “I am ruined!(O) For I am a man of unclean lips,(P) and I live among a people of unclean lips,(Q) and my eyes have seen(R) the King,(S) the Lord Almighty.”(T)
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal(U) in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips;(V) your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.(W)”
8 Then I heard the voice(X) of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send?(Y) And who will go for us?(Z)”
And I said, “Here am I.(AA) Send me!”
9 He said, “Go(AB) and tell this people:
“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’(AC)
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;(AD)
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.[a](AE)
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,(AF)
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”(AG)
11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”(AH)
And he answered:
“Until the cities lie ruined(AI)
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted(AJ)
and the fields ruined and ravaged,(AK)
12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away(AL)
and the land is utterly forsaken.(AM)
13 And though a tenth remains(AN) in the land,
it will again be laid waste.(AO)
But as the terebinth and oak
leave stumps(AP) when they are cut down,
so the holy(AQ) seed will be the stump in the land.”(AR)
