Isaiah 6:6-10
New American Standard Bible
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the (A)altar with tongs. 7 He (B)touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and (C)your guilt is taken away and atonement is made for your sin.”
Isaiah’s Commission
8 Then I heard the (D)voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then (E)I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on (F)listening, but do not understand;
And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’
10 (G)Make the hearts of this people [a](H)insensitive,
Their ears [b]dull,
And their eyes [c]blind,
(I)So that they will not see with their eyes,
Hear with their ears,
Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”

Isaiah 6:6-10
New International Version
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal(A) 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;(B) your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.(C)”
8 Then I heard the voice(D) of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send?(E) And who will go for us?(F)”
And I said, “Here am I.(G) Send me!”
9 He said, “Go(H) and tell this people:
“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’(I)
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;(J)
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.[a](K)
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,(L)
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”(M)
