Chapter 6

God calls Isaiah

v1 In the year when King Uzziah died, I saw the *Lord. He was sitting on a royal seat. His robe (royal dress) filled the *Temple. v2 Above the *Lord were two *fiery *angels. They were ready to serve him. Each *fiery *angel had six wings. Two wings covered their faces. Two wings covered their feet. With two wings they flew. v3 The *fiery *angels were calling to each other, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies)! The whole earth is full of his *glory!’ v4 The sound of the *fiery *angels’ voices shook the *Temple. And the building filled with smoke.

v5 Then I cried, ‘I shall die! Every word that I speak is wicked. So are the words of all the people round me. But I have looked on the King, the *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies)!’ v6 Then one of the *fiery *angels flew to me. He was holding a hot coal that he had taken off the *altar. v7 He touched my mouth with the hot coal. And he said, ‘This has touched your lips. You are no longer a guilty man. God has forgiven you.’
