1 In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment filling the temple.
2 Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft.
3 "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!" they cried one to the other. "All the earth is filled with his glory!"
4 At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then I said, "Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 He touched my mouth with it. "See," he said, "now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged."
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" "Here I am," I said; "send me!"
9 And he replied: Go and say to this people: Listen carefully, but you shall not understand! Look intently, but you shall know nothing!
10 You are to make the heart of this people sluggish, to dull their ears and close their eyes; Else their eyes will see, their ears hear, their heart understand, and they will turn and be healed.
11 "How long, O Lord?" I asked. And he replied: Until the cities are desolate, without inhabitants, Houses, without a man, and the earth is a desolate waste.
12 Until the LORD removes men far away, and the land is abandoned more and more.
13 If there be still a tenth part in it, then this in turn shall be laid waste; As with a terebinth or an oak whose trunk remains when its leaves have fallen. (Holy offspring is the trunk.)
Versículos relacionados com Isaiah, 6:
Isaiah 6 describes the vision that the prophet Isaiah had of the Lord, sitting on his throne, surrounded by Serafins who cried "holy, holy, holy." Isaiah was confronted with the holiness of God and his own sinfulness, but was purified and commissioned to proclaim God's message to the people. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 6:
Proverbs 1:7: "The fear of the Lord is the principle of knowledge; the madmen despise wisdom and instruction."

Romans 3:23-24: "For all have sinned and deprived are of the glory of God, being justified free of charge by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."

Isaiah 6 shows how God's holiness exposes our sinfulness and how we need to be cleansed to get closer to it.
1 Peter 1:15-16: "But as Holy is he who has called you, thirst for you also saints in all your way of living; for it is written: thirst, because I am holy."

John 12:41: "Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him." Here we see that Isaiah 6 is quoted as the source of a prophecy about Jesus. Isaiah saw the glory of God in his holiness, and this view commissioned him to speak in the name of God. Jesus, the Son of God, is the embodiment of the glory of God.
Revelation 4:8: "And the four living beings had, each of them, six wings, and to the surrounding, and inside, they were full of eyes; and have no rest of day or night, proclaiming: Holy, holy Holy, Holy It is the Lord God, the Almighty, He who was, who is and who must come. " This verse describes a scene very similar to Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6. Living beings proclaim God's holiness and recognize His sovereignty.
