Hineni

1 In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with

the train of His robe filling the temple. 2 Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings:

with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And

one called out to another and said,

“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts,

The whole earth is full of His glory.”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while

the temple was filling with smoke. 5 Then I said,

“Woe is me, for I am ruined!

Because I am a man of unclean lips,

And I live among a people of unclean lips;

For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken

from the altar with tongs. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched

your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”

8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,

“Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?”

Then I said,

“Here am I. Send me!”

9 He said,

“Go, and tell this people…”
