Isaiah 6 — Context

In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated in his place, high and lifted up, and the Temple was full of the wide skirts of his robe.

Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight.

And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory.

And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.

Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.

Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.
