Isaiah 6:1-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

Isaiah Is Sent with a Message for the Lord’s People

6 In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a high and lofty throne. The bottom of his robe filled the temple. ² Angels ^[a] were standing above him. Each had six wings: With two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. ³ They called to each other and said,

⁴ Their voices shook the foundations of the doorposts, and the temple filled with smoke.

⁵ So I said, “Oh, no!

⁶ Then one of the angels flew to me. In his hand was a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs. ⁷ He touched my mouth with it and said, “This has touched your lips. Your guilt has been taken away, and your sin has been forgiven.”

⁸ Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom will I send? Who will go for us?”

I said, “Here I am. Send me!”
