will whistle to them from the end of the earth. Behold, they are quickly coming with<br />

ease. 27 They will not be hungry, or grow weary, or slumber, or sleep, or loosen their<br />

belts from their waists, nor will the straps of their sandals be broken. 28 Their arrows are<br />

sharp and their bows are bent; the feet of their horses are reckoned as solid rock; the<br />

wheels of their chariots are like a hurricane. 29 They rush forth like lions; they stood near<br />

like a lion's cub. He will seize and cry out like a wild animal; he will drive them out, and<br />

there will be no one who will deliver them. 30 He will cry out because of them on that<br />

day like the sound of the undulating sea. They will look to the land, and behold, in their<br />

perplexity there will be thick darkness.<br />

Isaiah 6<br />

1 It happened that, in the year in which Uzziah the king died, I saw the Lord sitting<br />

on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory. 2 Seraphim A stood<br />

around him. One had six wings, and the other had six wings; with two they covered the<br />

face, with two they covered the feet, and with two they flew. 3 One shouted to the<br />

other, and they said, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of sabaóth; all the earth is full of his<br />

glory." 4 The lintel was lifted up due to the sound which they shouted, and the house<br />

was filled with smoke. 5 I said, "Oh, I am wretched, for I am stunned. For I am a man<br />

and have unclean lips, and I reside in the midst of a people who have unclean lips, yet I<br />

saw with my eyes the King, the Lord of sabaóth."<br />

6 One of the seraphim was sent forth to me, and he had in his hand a coal, which he<br />

had taken from the altar with the tongs. 7 He touched my mouth and said, "Behold, this<br />

touched your lips; it will take away your lawless acts and cleanse your sins." 8 I heard<br />

the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom will I send forth, and who will go to this people?" I<br />

said, "Behold, I am here; send me forth." 9 He said, "Go and say to this people, `You<br />

will hear a report, yet will not understand, and will look and look, yet will not see.´<br />

10 For the heart of this people became dull; they heard with their ears with difficulty and<br />

closed their eyes, or else they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears,<br />

understand with their hearts, and return, and I would cure them." 11 I said, "How long,<br />

O Lord?" He said, "Until cities are deserted due to not being inhabited, and houses due<br />

to there being no men, and the land will be abandoned as a desert. 12 After this, God<br />

will move the men to a distance, and those who were abandoned will multiply over the<br />

earth. 13 A tenth will still be upon it, and it will again be for foraging, like a turpentine<br />

tree and like an acorn when it falls out of its husk."<br />

Isaiah 7<br />

1 It happened in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah,<br />

that Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel went up against<br />

Jerusalem to wage war against it, yet they were not able to lay siege to it. 2 It was<br />

reported to the house of David, "Aram has conspired with Ephraim." His soul was<br />

A Heb seraphim, pl. of saraph, elsewhere rendered ophis, "serpent" (Num 21:6; Deut.<br />

8:15; Is. 14:29) or aspis, "cobra" (Is. 30:6)
