Yeshayah 6

¹In the year that the Melech Uziyah died, I saw Adonoi sitting upon a kisse, high and lifted up, and His robe filled the Heikhal.

²Above Him stood ministering the seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.[#6:2 flaming]

³And one cried unto another, and said,

Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, is Hashem Tzva'os;

kol ha'aretz is full of His kavod.

⁴And the doorposts shook at the voice of him that cried, and the Beis was filled with smoke.[#6:4 Hamikdash]

⁵Then said I, Oy (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 HaMelech, Hashem Tzva'os.

⁶Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his yad, which he had taken with the tongs from off the Mizbe'ach:

⁷And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Hinei, this hath touched thy lips; and thine avon (iniquity) is taken away, and kapporah is made for the purging of thy chattat (sin) .

⁸Also I heard the voice of Adonoi, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?

Then said I, Hineini; send me.

⁹And He said, Go, and tell this people:

Hear ye indeed, but understand not;

and see indeed, but perceive not.

¹⁰Make the lev HaAm hazeh stubborn,

and make their ears stopped up,

their eyes heavy; lest they see with their eyes,

and hear with their ears,

and understand with their lev.

And have a spiritual turnaround conversion,

and be healed.

¹¹Then cried I, Adonoi, ad mosai (how much longer [will this go on]) ?

And He answered,

Until the towns be wasted without inhabitant,

and the batim (houses) are without man,

and the ground be utterly desolate, a wilderness,

¹²And Hashem have removed men far away,

and there be many forsaken places within the land.

¹³But yet in it shall be a tenth,

and it shall be given up to destruction,

like the terebinth and like the oak,

when they are felled, leave a root-stump:

so the root-stump shall be the zera kodesh.
