23:006:005 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 seen the King, the lord of
hosts.
23:006:006 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:
23:006:007 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.
23:006:008 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.
23:006:009 And he said, Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye indeed, but
understand
not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
23:006:010 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.
23:006:011 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,
23:006:012 And the lord have removed men far
away, and there be a great
forsaking
in the midst of the land.
23:006:013 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.
23:007:001 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz
the son of Jotham, the
son
of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria,
and
Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up
toward
Jerusalem
to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
23:007:002 And it was told the house of David, saying,
Syria is
confederate
with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the
heart
of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with
the
wind.
23:007:003 Then said the lord unto Isaiah, Go
forth now to meet Ahaz,
thou,
and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit
of
the
upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
23:007:004 And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet;
fear not, neither
be
fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands,
for
the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son
of
Remaliah.
23:007:005 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of
Remaliah, have taken
evil
counsel against thee, saying,
