1. In the year of King Uzziah's death, I saw the sovereign master seated on a high, elevated throne. The hem of his 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. Seraphs stood over him; each one had six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and they used the remaining two to fly.
|
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. They called out to one another, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord who commands armies! His majestic splendor fills the entire 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. The sound of their voices shook the door frames, and the temple was 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, "Too bad for me! I am destroyed, for my lips are contaminated by sin, and I live among people whose lips are contaminated by sin. My eyes have seen the king, the LORD who commands armies."
|
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. But then one of the seraphs flew toward me. In his hand was a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.
|
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. He touched my mouth with it and said, "Look, this coal has touched your lips. Your evil is removed; your sin is forgiven."
|
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. I heard the voice of the sovereign master say, "Whom will I send? Who will go on our behalf?" I answered, "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. He said, "Go and tell these people: 'Listen continually, but don't understand! Look continually, but don't perceive!'
|
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 hearts of these people calloused; make their ears deaf and their eyes blind! Otherwise they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears, their hearts might understand and they might repent 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. I replied, "How long, sovereign master?" He said, "Until cities are in ruins and unpopulated, and houses are uninhabited, and the land is ruined and devastated,
|
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. and the LORD has sent the people off to a distant place, and the very heart of the land is completely abandoned.
|
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. Even if only a tenth of the people remain in the land, it will again be destroyed, like one of the large sacred trees or an Asherah pole, when a sacred pillar on a high place is thrown down. That sacred pillar symbolizes the special chosen family."
|
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.
