[1] In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. [2] Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. [3] One called to another, and said,
“Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies!
The whole earth is full of his glory!” [4] The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. [5] Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!” [6] Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. [7] He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.” [8] I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!” [9] He said, “Go, and tell this people,
‘You hear indeed,
but don’t understand.
You see indeed,
but don’t perceive.’
[10] Make the heart of this people fat.
Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes;
lest they see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their heart,
and turn again, and be healed.” [11] Then I said, “Lord, how long?”He answered,
“Until cities are waste without inhabitant,
houses without man,
the land becomes utterly waste,
[12] and Yahweh has removed men far away,
and the forsaken places are many within the land.
[13] If there is a tenth left in it,
that also will in turn be consumed,
as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down,
so the holy seed is its stump.”
“Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies!
The whole earth is full of his glory!” [4] The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. [5] Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!” [6] Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.

[13] If there is a tenth left in it,
that also will in turn be consumed,

King James Version
Isaiah’s Vision and Call
[1] In the year H8141 that king H4428 Uzziah H5818 died H4194 I saw H7200 (QalImpf) also H853 the Lord H136 sitting H3427 (QalActPtc) upon a throne, H3678 high H7311 (QalActPtc) and lifted up, H5375 (NiphPtc) and his train H7757§ filled H4392 the temple. H1964 [2] Above H4605 it stood H5975 (QalActPtc) the seraphims: H8314 each one H259 had six H8337 wings; H3671 with twain H8147 he covered H3680 (PielImpf) his face, H6440 and with twain H8147 he covered H3680 (PielImpf) his feet, H7272 and with twain H8147 he did fly. H5774 (PoleImpf) [3] And one cried H7121 (QalPerf) unto another,§ and said, H559 (QalPerf) Holy, H6918 holy, H6918 holy, H6918 is the Lord H3068 of hosts: H6635 the whole earth H776 is full H4393 of his glory. H3519§ [4] And the posts H520 of the door H5592§ moved H5128 (QalImpf) at the voice H6963 of him that cried, H7121 (QalActPtc) and the house H1004 was filled H4390 (NiphImpf) with smoke. H6227 [5] Then said H559 (QalImpf) I, Woe H188 is me! for I am undone;§ H1820 (NiphPerf) because I am a man H376 of unclean H2931 lips, H8193 and I dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) in the midst H8432 of a people H5971 of unclean H2931 lips: H8193 for mine eyes H5869 have seen H7200 (QalPerf) the King, H4428 the Lord H3068 of hosts. H6635 [6] Then flew H5774 (QalImpf) one H259 of the seraphims H8314 unto me, having a live coal H7531§ in his hand, H3027 which he had taken H3947 (QalPerf) with the tongs H4457 from off the altar: H4196 [7] and he laid H5060 (HiphImpf) it§ upon my mouth, H6310 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Lo, this hath touched H5060 (QalPerf) thy lips; H8193 and thine iniquity H5771 is taken away, H5493 (QalPerf) and thy sin H2403 purged. H3722 (PualImpf) [8] Also I heard H8085 (QalImpf) the voice H6963 of the Lord, H136 saying, H559 (QalActPtc) Whom shall I send, H7971 (QalImpf) and who will go H3212 (QalImpf) for us? Then said H559 (QalImpf) I, Here am I;§ send H7971 (QalImpv) me. [9] And he said, H559 (QalImpf) Go, H3212 (QalImpv) and tell H559 (QalPerf) this people, H5971 Hear H8085 (QalImpv) ye indeed, H8085 (QalInf) but understand H995 (QalImpf) not;§ and see H7200 (QalImpv) ye indeed, H7200 (QalInf) but perceive H3045 (QalImpf) not. [10] Make the heart H3820 of this people H5971 fat, H8080 (HiphImpv) and make their ears H241 heavy, H3513 (HiphImpv) and shut H8173 (HiphImpv) their eyes; H5869 lest they see H7200 (QalImpf) with their eyes, H5869 and hear H8085 (QalImpf) with their ears, H241 and understand H995 (QalImpf) with their heart, H3824 and convert, H7725 (QalActPtc) and be healed. H7495 (QalPerf) [11] Then said H559 (QalImpf) I, Lord, H136 how long? And he answered, H559 (QalImpf) Until the cities H5892 be wasted H7582 (QalPerf) without inhabitant, H3427 (QalActPtc) and the houses H1004 without man, H120 and the land H127 be utterly H8077 desolate, H7582 (NiphImpf)§ [12] and the Lord H3068 have removed H7368 men H120 far away, H7368 (PielPerf) and there be a great H7227 forsaking H5805 in the midst H7130 of the land. H776 [13] But yet in it shall be a tenth, H6224 and it shall return, H7725 (QalPerf) and shall be eaten: H1197 (PielInf)§ as a teil tree, H424 and as an oak, H437 whose substance H4678§ is in them, when they cast H7995 their leaves: so the holy H6944 seed H2233 shall be the substance H4678 thereof.Footnotes
