THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET
ISAIAH

CHAPTER 6

Isaiah sees the Lord—His sins are forgiven—He is called to prophesy—He prophesies of the rejection by the Jews of Christ’s teachings—A remnant shall return—Compare 2 Nephi 16.

 aIN the year that king Uzziah died I bsaw also the cLord sitting upon a dthrone, high and lifted up, and ehis train filled the temple.

 Above it stood the aseraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the aLORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his bglory.

 And the aposts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with bsmoke.

 ¶ Then said I, Woe is me! for I am aundone; because I am a man of bunclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have cseen the dKing, the LORD of hosts.

 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live acoal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

 And he laid it upon my amouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is btaken away, and thy sin purged.

 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I asend, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; bsend me.

 ¶ And he said, Go, and tell this people, aHear ye indeed, but bunderstand not; and see ye indeed, but cperceive not.

 Make the aheart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and bshut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

 Then said I, Lord, ahow long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

 ¶ But yet in it shall be a tenth, and ait shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the bsubstance thereof.
