          DASV: Isaiah 6    

1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon
a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled
the temple.
2 Above him stood the seraphim, each one had six wings: with two
they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet,
and with two they flew.
3 They called out to each other,
     "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts;
           the whole earth is full of his glory!"
4 At the sound of their cry the door frames shook, and the temple
was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, "Woe is me! For I am doomed; for I am a man of unclean
lips, and I live in the midst of a people of unclean lips. My eyes
have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
6 Then a seraphim flew to me, having a burning coal in his hand,
which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
7 He touched my mouth with it, and said,
     "Look, this has touched your lips;
           your iniquity is taken away,
                and your sin forgiven."

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,
     "Whom will I send,
     and who will go for us?"
     I replied, "I am here. Send me."
9 He said, "Go, and tell this people:
     Keep on listening, but do not understand;
           keep on looking, but do not perceive.
10 Make the heart of this people insensitive,
     and make their ears deaf,
           and shut their eyes;
                so that they may not see with their eyes,
     and hear with their ears,
           and understand with their heart,
     and repent and be healed."

11 Then I asked, "Lord, how long?" He answered,
     "Until cities are destroyed without inhabitant,
           and houses uninhabited,
                and the land become absolutely devastated,
12 and the LORD has sent everyone far away,
      and the midst of the land is abandoned.
13 Even if a tenth remains in it,
           it will be destroyed again.
     Just like a terebinth and an oak whose stump remains
           when they are cut down;
     so the holy seed will be its stump.
