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.”

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. 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.”

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.”

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.”

A Multitude from the Great Tribulation

After these things I looked, and behold, (A)a great multitude which no one could number, (B)of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (C)clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, (D)“Salvation belongs to our God (E)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 (F)All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and (G)worshiped God, 12 (H)saying:

“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”

13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in (I)white robes, and where did they come from?”

14 And I said to him, [a]“Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, (J)“These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and (K)washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will (L)dwell among them. 16 (M)They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; (N)the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne (O)will shepherd them and lead them to [b]living fountains of waters. (P)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
