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. |

Can God be seen?
| 6:2
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. |
| | 6:3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of
hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. |
| | 6:4

house was filled with smoke. |
| | 6:5
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 seen
the King, the LORD of hosts. |
"Woe is me! for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
Can God be seen?
| | 6:6
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: |
 (6:6-7)

and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. |

and see ye indeed, but perceive not. |
| | 6:10
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. |

understanding "lest they ... convert and be healed."

desolate, |

the midst of the land. |
| | 6:13
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.
