上帝呼召以赛亚
1乌西雅王驾崩那年，我看见主坐在高高的宝座上，衣袍下垂，覆盖了圣殿。 2在祂上方侍立着撒拉弗天使，他们各有三对翅膀：一对遮脸，一对遮脚，一对飞翔。 3他们彼此呼喊：
“圣哉，圣哉，圣哉，
万军之耶和华！
祂的荣耀充满大地。”
4他们的声音震动圣殿的根基，圣殿里烟云弥漫。 5那时我说：“我有祸了！我要灭亡了！因为我口出不洁之言，又住在口出不洁之言的人群中，并且亲眼看见了大君王——万军之耶和华。” 6有个撒拉弗天使用火钳从祭坛上取了一块燃烧的炭，飞到我面前， 7用炭碰我的嘴唇，说：“看啊，这炭碰了你的嘴唇，你的过犯已被除掉，你的罪恶已被赦免。” 8然后，我听见主说：“我可以差遣谁呢？谁肯为我们去呢？”我说：“我在这里，请差遣我！” 9祂说：“你去告诉以色列人，
“‘你们听了又听，却不明白；
看了又看，却不领悟。’
10要让这些人心灵麻木，
耳朵发背，
眼睛昏花，
免得他们眼睛看见，
耳朵听见，
心里明白，
回心转意，就得到医治。”
11我说：“主啊，这要到什么时候呢？”祂说：
“直到城邑荒凉，无人居住，房屋空置，
土地荒废的时候。
12那时，我必把他们赶到远方，
他们的土地必荒芜。
13即使境内只剩下十分之一的人，
也必被消灭。
然而，就像砍掉松树和橡树后必留下树墩，
这地方必有圣洁的苗裔存留下来。”

And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,6.11 utterly…: Heb. desolate with desolation 12And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
