King James Version
The Book of Isaiah
| Return to Index | Henry's Commentary |
| 1 | In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. |
| 2 | Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. |
| 3 | And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. |
| 4 | And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. |
| 5 |
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have 1seen the King, the LORD of hosts. |
| 6 | Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: |
| 7 | And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. |
| 8 |
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
|
| 9 |
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Ezek 12:2, Matt 13:14, Luke 8:10, John 12:40, Acts 28:26, Romans 11:8 |
| 10 |
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Mt 13:15, Mark 4:12, Acts 28:27, Heb 5:11 |
| 11 | Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, |
| 12 | And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. |
| 13 | But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it 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 substance thereof. |
