Isaiah’s Commission

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe(a)6:1 Or the hem of His robe filled the temple. Exo 24:10; 2Ch 26:23; Jhn 12:41Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. Dan 7:9And they were calling out to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts;

all the earth is full of His glory.”Rev 3:7; Rev 4:8; Luk 1:49

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.Ezk 10:4

Then I said:

“Woe is me,

for I am ruined,

because I am a man of unclean lips

dwelling among a people of unclean lips;

for my eyes have seen the King,

the LORD of Hosts.”Exo 30:20; Deu 5:25; Jdg 13:22

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. Heb 13:10And with it he touched my mouth and said:

“Now that this has touched your lips,

your iniquity is removed

and your sin is atoned for.”Jer 1:9; Dan 10:16

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying:

“Whom shall I send?

Who will go for Us?”

And I said:

“Here am I. Send me!”1Ti 3:1

And He replied:

“Go and tell this people,

‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;

be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’(b)6:9 Hebrew; LXX ‘You shall be ever hearing, but never understanding; you shall be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’Cited in Matthew 13:14, Mark 4:12, Luke 8:10, and Acts 28:26Jer 5:21; Mat 13:14; Mrk 4:12; Luk 8:10; Jhn 12:40; Act 28:26; Rom 11:8

Make the hearts of this people calloused;

deafen their ears and close their eyes.

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,

hear with their ears,

understand with their hearts,

and turn and be healed.(c)6:10 Hebrew; LXX For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.Cited in Matthew 13:15, Mark 4:12, John 12:40, and Acts 28:27”

Then I asked:

“How long, O Lord?”

And He replied:

“Until the cities lie ruined

and without inhabitant,

until the houses are left unoccupied

and the land is desolate and ravaged,2Ch 33:11

until the LORD has driven men far away

and the land is utterly forsaken.

And though a tenth remains in the land,

it will be burned again.

As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled,

so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”Zec 8:12; Zec 13:8; Isa 53:10; Hos 2:23
