6In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was sitting on his throne, high and exalted, and his robe filled the whole Temple.H8141H4428H5818H4194H7200H853H136H3427H3678H7311H5375H7757H4392H853H19642Around him flaming creatures were standing, each of which had six wings. Each creature covered its face with two wings, and its body with two, and used the other two for flying.H4605H5975H8314H259H8337H3671H8147H3680H6440H8147H3680H7272H8147H57743They were calling out to each other: "Holy, holy, holy! The LORD Almighty is holy! His glory fills the world."H7121H559H6918H6918H6918H3068H6635H776H4393H35194The sound of their voices made the foundation of the Temple shake, and the Temple itself became filled with smoke.H520H5592H5128H6963H7121H1004H4390H62275I said, "There is no hope for me! I am doomed because every word that passes my lips is sinful, and I live among a people whose every word is sinful. And yet, with my own eyes I have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."H559H188H1820H376H2931H8193H3427H8432H5971H2931H8193H5869H7200H4428H3068H66356Then one of the creatures flew down to me, carrying a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.H5774H259H8314H7531H3027H3947H4457H41967He touched my lips with the burning coal and said, "This has touched your lips, and now your guilt is gone, and your sins are forgiven."H5060H6310H559H5060H8193H5771H5493H2403H37228Then I heard the Lord say, "Whom shall I send? Who will be our messenger?" I answered, "I will go! Send me!"H8085H6963H136H559H7971H3212H559H79719So he told me to go and give the people this message: "No matter how much you listen, you will not understand. No matter how much you look, you will not know what is happening."H559H3212H559H5971H8085H8085H995H7200H7200H304510Then he said to me, "Make the minds of these people dull, their ears deaf, and their eyes blind, so that they cannot see or hear or understand. If they did, they might turn to me and be healed."H3820H5971H8080H241H3513H8173H5869H7200H5869H8085H241H995H3824H7725H749511I asked, "How long will it be like this, Lord?" He answered, "Until the cities are ruined and empty - until the houses are uninhabited - until the land itself is a desolate wasteland.H559H136H559H5892H7582H3427H1004H120H127H8077H758212I will send the people far away and make the whole land desolate.H3068H7368H120H7368H7227H5805H7130H77613Even if one person out of ten remains in the land, he too will be destroyed; he will be like the stump of an oak tree that has been cut down." (The stump represents a new beginning for God's people.)H6224H7725H1197H424H437H4678H7995H6944H2233H4678
