Isaiah 6:5-13

5 And I said: “Woe is me! (A)For I am lost; (B)for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the (C)King, the Lord of hosts!”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he (D)touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
Isaiah's Commission from the Lord
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for (E)us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” 9 And he said, “Go, and say to this people:
(F)“‘Keep on hearing,[a] but do not understand;
keep on seeing,[b] but do not perceive.’
10 (G)Make the heart of this people (H)dull,[c]
and their ears heavy,
and blind their eyes;
(I)lest they see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
11 Then I said, (J)“How long, O Lord?”
And he said:
“Until (K)cities lie waste
without inhabitant,
and houses without people,
and the land is a desolate waste,
12 and the Lord removes people far away,
and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 (L)And though a tenth remain in it,
it will be burned[d] again,
like a terebinth or an oak,
whose stump (M)remains
when it is felled.”
(N)The holy seed[e] is its stump.

English Standard Version
The Lord Rebukes Job's Friends
7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz (B)the Temanite: “My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has. 8 Now therefore take (C)seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and (D)offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall (E)pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 9 (F)So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the Lord had told them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
The Lord Restores Job's Fortunes
10 And the Lord (G)restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job (H)twice as much as he had before. 11 Then came to him all his (I)brothers and sisters and all who had (J)known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they (K)showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil[b] that the Lord had brought upon him. And each of them gave him (L)a piece of money[c] and (M)a ring of gold.
12 And the Lord blessed (N)the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had (O)14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 13 He had also (P)seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance (Q)among their brothers. 16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and (R)saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations. 17 And Job died, an old man, and (S)full of days.
