- Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
- With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."
- Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
- He said, "Go and tell this people: " 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'
- Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."

- Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.
- 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."
- 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!"
- He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on listening, but do not perceive; Keep on looking, but do not understand.'
- "Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed."
