One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”

4 A nd the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 T hen said I, Woe is me! For I am undone and ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!

Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”

6 T hen flew one of the seraphim to me, having a live coal in his hand which he had taken with tongs from off the altar;

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.

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 A lso I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

9 A nd He said, Go and tell this people, Hear and hear continually, but understand not; and see and see continually, but do not apprehend with your mind.

He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand; and you see indeed, but don’t perceive.’

And Yahweh has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.

13 A nd though a tenth remain in the land, it will be for their destruction like a terebinth tree or like an oak whose stump and substance remain when they are felled or have cast their leaves. The holy seed is the stump and substance.

If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock.”
