6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the ^aaltar with tongs. 7 He ^atouched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and ^byour guilt is taken away and atonement is made for your sin.”

8 Then I heard the ^avoice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then ^bI said, “Here am I. Send me!” 9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people:‘Keep on ^alistening, but do not understand;And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’

11 Then I said, “Lord, ^ahow long?” And He answered,“Until ^bcities are devastated and without inhabitant,Houses are without peopleAnd the land is utterly desolate,
