Isaiah Called to Be a Prophet(A)

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. 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. And one cried to another and said:

(E)“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
(F)The whole earth is full of His glory!”

And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

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.”

  1. Isaiah 6:5 destroyed, cut off

(A)The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having (B)six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:

(C)“Holy,[a] holy, holy,
(D)Lord God Almighty,
(E)Who was and is and is to come!”

Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, (F)who lives forever and ever, 10 (G)the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

11 “You(H) are worthy, [b]O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
(I)For You created all things,
And by (J)Your will they [c]exist and were created.”
