(Matthew 13:10–17; Mark 4:10–12; Acts 28:16–31)
1
In the year that king Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: and his train filled the temple.
2
Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they hew.
3
And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.
4
And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5
And I said: Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts.
6
And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar.
7
And he touched my mouth, and said: Behold this hath touched thy lips, and thy iniquities shall be taken away, and thy sin shall be cleansed.
8
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us? And I said: Lo, here am I, send me.
9
And he said: Go, and thou shalt say to this people: Hearing, hear, and understand not: and see the vision, and know it not.
10
Blind the heart of this people, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.
11
And I said: How long, O Lord? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land shall be left desolate.
12
And the Lord shall remove men far away, and she shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth.
13
And there shall be still a tithing therein, and she shall turn, and shall be made a show as a turpentine tree, and as an oak that spreadeth its branches: that which shall stand therein, shall be a holy seed.
(Matthew 13:10–17; Mark 4:10–12; Acts 28:16–31)
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 the LORD 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, the LORD 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 the LORD 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.”
