1. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a very high throne. His long robe filled the Temple.
|
1. In the year H8141 that king H4428 Uzziah H5818 died H4194 I saw H7200 also H853 the Lord H136 sitting H3427 upon H5921 a throne H3678 , high H7311 and lifted up H5375 , and his train H7757 filled H4390 H853 the temple H1964 .
|
|
2. Heavenly creatures of fire stood above him. Each creature had six wings: It used two wings to cover its face, two wings to cover its feet, and two wings for flying.
|
2. Above H4480 H4605 it stood H5975 the seraphims H8314 : each one H259 had six wings H8337 H3671 H8337 H3671 with twain H8147 he covered H3680 his face H6440 , and with twain H8147 he covered H3680 his feet H7272 , and with twain H8147 he did fly H5774 .
|
|
3. Each creature was calling to the others: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord All-Powerful. His glory fills the whole earth."
|
3. And one cried H7121 unto H413 H2088 another H2088 , and said H559 , Holy H6918 , holy H6918 , holy H6918 , is the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 : the whole H3605 earth H776 is full H4393 of his glory H3519 .
|
|
4. Their calling caused the frame around the door to shake, as the Temple filled with smoke.
|
4. And the posts H520 of the door H5592 moved H5128 at the voice H4480 H6963 of him that cried H7121 , and the house H1004 was filled H4390 with smoke H6227 .
|
|
5. I said, "Oh, no! I will be destroyed. I am not pure, and I live among people who are not pure, but I have seen the King, the Lord All-Powerful."
|
5. Then said H559 I, Woe H188 is me! for H3588 I am undone H1820 ; because H3588 I H589 am a man H376 of unclean H2931 lips H8193 , and I H589 dwell H3427 in the midst H8432 of a people H5971 of unclean H2931 lips H8193 : for H3588 mine eyes H5869 have seen H7200 H853 the King H4428 , the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
6. One of the heavenly creatures used a pair of tongs to take a hot coal from the altar. Then he flew to me with the hot coal in his hand.
|
6. Then flew H5774 one H259 of H4480 the seraphims H8314 unto H413 me , having a live coal H7531 in his hand H3027 , which he had taken H3947 with the tongs H4457 from off H4480 H5921 the altar H4196 :
|
|
7. The creature touched my mouth with the hot coal and said, "Look, your guilt is taken away, because this hot coal has touched your lips. Your sin is taken away."
|
7. And he laid H5060 it upon H5921 my mouth H6310 , and said H559 , Lo H2009 , this H2088 hath touched H5060 H5921 thy lips H8193 ; and thine iniquity H5771 is taken away H5493 , and thy sin H2403 purged H3722 .
|
|
8. Then I heard the Lord's voice, saying, "Whom can I send? Who will go for us?" So I said, "Here I am. Send me!"
|
8. Also I heard H8085 H853 the voice H6963 of the Lord H136 , saying H559 , H853 Whom H4310 shall I send H7971 , and who H4310 will go H1980 for us? Then said H559 I , Here am I H2009 ; send H7971 me.
|
|
9. Then the Lord said, "Go and tell this to the people: 'You will listen and listen, but you will not understand. You will look and look, but you will not learn.'
|
9. And he said H559 , Go H1980 , and tell H559 this H2088 people H5971 , Hear ye indeed H8085 H8085 , but understand H995 not H408 ; and see ye indeed H7200 H7200 , but perceive H3045 not H3808 .
|
|
10. Make the minds of these people dumb. Shut their ears. Cover their eyes. Otherwise, they might really understand what they see with their eyes and hear with their ears. They might really understand in their minds and come back to me and be healed."
|
10. Make the heart H3820 of this H2088 people H5971 fat H8082 , and make their ears H241 heavy H3513 , and shut H8173 their eyes H5869 ; lest H6435 they see H7200 with their eyes H5869 , and hear H8085 with their ears H241 , and understand H995 with their heart H3824 , and convert H7725 , and be healed H7495 .
|
|
11. Then I asked, "Lord, how long should I do this?" He answered, "Until the cities are destroyed and the people are gone, until there are no people left in the houses, until the land is destroyed and left empty.
|
11. Then said H559 I, Lord H136 , how long H5704 H4970 ? And he answered H559 , Until H5704 H834 the cities H5892 be wasted H7582 without H4480 H369 inhabitant H3427 , and the houses H1004 without H4480 H369 man H120 , and the land H127 be utterly H8077 desolate H7582 ,
|
|
12. The Lord will send the people far away, and the land will be left empty.
|
12. And the LORD H3068 have removed men far away H7368 H853 H120 , and there be a great H7227 forsaking H5805 in the midst H7130 of the land H776 .
|
|
13. One-tenth of the people will be left in the land, but it will be destroyed again. These people will be like an oak tree whose stump is left when the tree is chopped down. The people who remain will be like a stump that will sprout again."
|
13. But yet H5750 in it shall be a tenth H6224 , and it shall return H7725 , and shall be H1961 eaten H1197 : as a teil tree H424 , and as an oak H437 , whose H834 substance H4678 is in them , when they cast H7995 their leaves: so the holy H6944 seed H2233 shall be the substance H4678 thereof.
