1 In|strong="H3427" the|strong="H0853" year|strong="H8141" that|strong="H7200" King|strong="H4428" Uzziah|strong="H5818" died|strong="H4194", I|strong="H7200" saw|strong="H7200" the|strong="H0853" Lord|strong="H0136" sitting|strong="H3427" on|strong="H5921" a|strong="H7200" very high|strong="H7311" and|strong="H4428" wonderful throne|strong="H3678". His|strong="H5921" long robe|strong="H7757" filled|strong="H4390" the|strong="H0853" Temple|strong="H1964".
2 Seraph angels stood|strong="H5975" around|strong="H6440" him|strong="H6440". Each|strong="H0259" angel|strong="H5774" had|strong="H0259" six|strong="H8337" wings|strong="H3671". They|strong="H6440" used two|strong="H8147" wings|strong="H3671" to|strong="H6440" cover|strong="H3680" their|strong="H6440" faces|strong="H6440", two|strong="H8147" wings|strong="H3671" to|strong="H6440" cover|strong="H3680" their|strong="H6440" bodies, and|strong="H6440" two|strong="H8147" wings|strong="H3671" to|strong="H6440" fly|strong="H5774".
3 The|strong="H3605" angels were|strong="H0776" calling|strong="H7121" to|strong="H0413" each|strong="H3605" other|strong="H2088", “Holy|strong="H6918", holy|strong="H6918", holy|strong="H6918" is|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" All-Powerful. His|strong="H3605" Glory|strong="H3519" fills the|strong="H3605" whole|strong="H3605" earth|strong="H0776".”
4 The|strong="H7121" sound|strong="H6963" was|strong="H1004" so|strong="H7121" loud that|strong="H7121" it|strong="H7121" caused the|strong="H7121" frame around|strong="H5128" the|strong="H7121" door to|strong="H1004" shake|strong="H5128", and|strong="H1004" the|strong="H7121" Temple|strong="H1004" was|strong="H1004" filled|strong="H4390" with|strong="H4390" smoke|strong="H6227".
5 I|strong="H0595" was|strong="H3068" frightened and|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559", “Oh, no! I|strong="H0595" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H0376" destroyed|strong="H1820". I|strong="H0595" am|strong="H0595" not|strong="H3588" pure enough to|strong="H0559" speak|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0559" God|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3068" I|strong="H0595" live|strong="H3427" among|strong="H8432" people|strong="H5971" who|strong="H0376" are|strong="H0376" not|strong="H3588" pure enough to|strong="H0559" speak|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0559" him|strong="H0853". But|strong="H3588" I|strong="H0595" have|strong="H5869" seen|strong="H7200" the|strong="H0853" King|strong="H4428", the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" All-Powerful.”
6 There was|strong="H0259" a|strong="H3947" fire on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" altar|strong="H4196". One|strong="H0259" of|strong="H3027" the|strong="H5921" Seraph angels used|strong="H3947" a|strong="H3947" pair of|strong="H3027" tongs|strong="H4457" to|strong="H0413" take|strong="H3947" a|strong="H3947" hot coal from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5921" fire. Then|strong="H3947" the|strong="H5921" angel|strong="H5774" flew|strong="H5774" to|strong="H0413" me|strong="H0413" with|strong="H0413" it|strong="H5921" in|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" hand|strong="H3027".
7 Then|strong="H2009" he|strong="H5921" touched|strong="H5060" my|strong="H5921" mouth|strong="H6310" with|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0559" hot coal and|strong="H6310" said|strong="H0559", “When|strong="H5060" this|strong="H2088" hot coal touched|strong="H5060" your|strong="H5921" lips|strong="H8193", your|strong="H5921" guilt|strong="H5771" was|strong="H2088" taken|strong="H5493" away|strong="H5493", and|strong="H6310" your|strong="H5921" sins|strong="H2403" were|strong="H2088" erased.”
8 Then|strong="H0853" I|strong="H2005" heard|strong="H8085" the|strong="H0853" Lord’s voice|strong="H6963", saying|strong="H0559", “Who|strong="H4310" can|strong="H4310" I|strong="H2005" send|strong="H7971"? Who|strong="H4310" will|strong="H4310" go|strong="H7971" for|strong="H7971" us|strong="H7971"?”
9 Then|strong="H2088" the|strong="H0559" Lord said|strong="H0559", “Go and|strong="H7200" tell|strong="H0559" the|strong="H0559" people|strong="H5971", ‘Listen|strong="H8085" closely|strong="H8085", but|strong="H7200" don’t|strong="H0408" understand|strong="H0995". Look|strong="H7200" closely|strong="H8085", but|strong="H7200" don’t|strong="H0408" learn|strong="H3045".’
10 Confuse them|strong="H7725". Make|strong="H8085" them|strong="H7725" unable to|strong="H7725" understand|strong="H0995" what|strong="H2088" they|strong="H5971" hear|strong="H8085" and|strong="H7725" see|strong="H7200". If|strong="H6435" you|strong="H7725" don’t do|strong="H8085" this|strong="H2088", they|strong="H5971" might|strong="H6435" really|strong="H2088" look|strong="H7200" with|strong="H5869" their|strong="H8085" eyes|strong="H5869", hear|strong="H8085" with|strong="H5869" their|strong="H8085" ears|strong="H0241", and|strong="H7725" understand|strong="H0995" with|strong="H5869" their|strong="H8085" minds|strong="H3820". Then|strong="H2088" they|strong="H5971" might|strong="H6435" come|strong="H7725" back|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" me|strong="H7725" and|strong="H7725" be|strong="H3820" healed|strong="H7495"!”
11 Then|strong="H0559" I|strong="H0834" asked|strong="H0559", “Lord|strong="H0136", how|strong="H0834" long|strong="H5704" should|strong="H0518" I|strong="H0834" do|strong="H0518" this|strong="H0834"?”
12 The|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" make the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H0120" go|strong="H7368" far|strong="H7368" away|strong="H7368", and|strong="H3068" there|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" large|strong="H7227" areas|strong="H0776" of|strong="H0776" empty land|strong="H0776" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" country|strong="H0776".
13 A|strong="H1961" tenth|strong="H6224" of|strong="H2233" the|strong="H0834" people|strong="H0834" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" allowed to|strong="H7725" stay in|strong="H5750" the|strong="H0834" land, but|strong="H1961" it|strong="H7725" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" destroyed again|strong="H5750". They|strong="H0834" will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" like|strong="H1961" an|strong="H1961" oak|strong="H0424" tree. When|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0834" tree is|strong="H0834" chopped down, a|strong="H1961" stump is|strong="H0834" left|strong="H7725". This|strong="H0834" stump will|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" a|strong="H1961" very special seed|strong="H2233" that|strong="H0834" will|strong="H1961" grow again|strong="H5750".
