Isaiah 6:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Then I said,
“(A)Woe to me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of (B)unclean lips,
And I live among a (C)people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the (D)King, the Lord of armies.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the (E)altar with tongs. 7 He (F)touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and (G)your guilt is taken away and atonement is made for your sin.”

Isaiah 6:5-7
New King James Version
5 So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am [a]undone!
Because I am a man of (A)unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from (B)the altar. 7 And he (C)touched my mouth with it, and said:
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin [b]purged.”
