1 In the year that ^sKing Uzziah died I ^tsaw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train¹ of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had ^usix wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

4 And ^wthe foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and ^xthe house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! ^yFor I am lost; ^zfor I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the ^aKing, the Lord of hosts!”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he ^btouched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
