Isaiah's Vision and Commission
Isaiah 6:1-8
1
In the year of King 'Uziyahu's death I saw Adonai sitting on a high, lofty throne! The hem of his robe filled the temple.
2
S'rafim stood over him, each with six wings - two for covering his face, two for covering his feet and two for flying.
3
They were crying out to each other, "More holy than the holiest holiness is ADONAI-Tzva'ot! The whole earth is filled with his glory!"
4
The doorposts shook at the sound of their shouting, and the house was filled with smoke.
5
Then I said, "Woe to me! I [too] am doomed! because I, a man with unclean lips, living among a people with unclean lips, have seen with my own eyes the King, ADONAI-Tzva'ot!"
6
One of the s'rafim flew to me with a glowing coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7
He touched my mouth with it and said, "Here! This has touched your lips. Your iniquity is gone, your sin is atoned for."
8
Then I heard the voice of Adonai saying, "Whom should I send? Who will go for us?" I answered, "I'm here, send me!"
