1 In the year of king Ozias’ death, I had a vision. I saw the Lord sitting on a throne that towered high above me, the skirts of his robe filling the temple. 2 Above it rose the figures of the seraphim, each of them six-winged; with two wings they veiled God’s face, with two his feet, and the other two kept them poised in flight.[1] 3 And ever the same cry passed between them, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts; all the earth is full of his glory. 4 The lintels over the doors rang with the sound of that cry, and smoke went up, filling the temple courts.

1 In anno quo mortuus est rex Ozias, vidi Dominum sedentem super solium excelsum et elevatum; et ea quæ sub ipso erant replebant templum. 2 Seraphim stabant super illud: sex alæ uni, et sex alæ alteri; duabus velabant faciem ejus, et duabus velabant pedes ejus, et duabus volabant. 3 Et clamabant alter ad alterum, et dicebant:

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dominus, Deus exercituum;
plena est omnis terra gloria ejus. 4 Et commota sunt superliminaria cardinum a voce clamantis, et domus repleta est fumo.

5 Alas, said I, that I must needs keep silence;[2] my lips, and the lips of all my countrymen, are polluted with sin; and yet these eyes have looked upon their King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Whereupon one of the seraphim flew up to me, bearing a coal which he had taken with a pair of tongs from the altar; 7 he touched my mouth with it, and said, Now that this has touched thy lips, thy guilt is swept away, thy sin pardoned. 8 And now I heard the Lord say, Who shall be my messenger? Who is to go on this errand of ours? And I said, I am here at thy command; make me thy messenger.

5 Et dixi:

Væ mihi, quia tacui,
quia vir pollutus labiis ego sum,
et in medio populi polluta labia habentis ego habito,
et regem Dominum exercituum vidi oculis meis. 6 Et volavit ad me unus de seraphim, et in manu ejus calculus, quem forcipe tulerat de altari, 7 et tetigit os meum, et dixit:

Ecce tetigit hoc labia tua,
et auferetur iniquitas tua, et peccatum tuum mundabitur. 8 Et audivi vocem Domini dicentis:

Quem mittam?
et quis ibit nobis?

Et dixi:

Ecce ego, mitte me.

9 Go then, said he, and give a message to this people of mine: Listen as you will, but ever without understanding; watch all, and nothing perceive! 10 Thy office is to dull the hearts of this people of mine, deaden their ears, dazzle their eyes, so that they cannot see with those eyes, hear with those ears, understand with that heart, and turn back to me, and win healing.[3] 11 For how long, Lord? I asked. And he said, Till the cities are left unpeopled, and the houses untenanted, and the whole land a wilderness. 12 The Lord will send its people into exile far away; wider, ever wider desolation must spread over it. 13 Though a tenth of their number remain, it is but empty show,[4] like leafage of terebinth or oak that needs pruning; only a remnant of it will be left, the true stock of holiness.

9 Et dixit:

Vade, et dices populo huic:
Audite audientes, et nolite intelligere;
et videte visionem, et nolite cognoscere. 10
Excæca cor populi hujus,
et aures ejus aggrava,
et oculos ejus claude:
ne forte videat oculis suis,
et auribus suis audiat,
et corde suo intelligat,
et convertatur, et sanem eum. 11 Et dixi:

Usquequo, Domine?

Et dixit:

Donec desolentur civitates absque habitatore,
et domus sine homine,
et terra relinquetur deserta. 12
Et longe faciet Dominus homines,
et multiplicabitur quæ derelicta fuerat in medio terræ. 13
Et adhuc in ea decimatio,
et convertetur, et erit in ostensionem
sicut terebinthus, et sicut quercus quæ expandit ramos suos;
semen sanctum erit id quod steterit in ea.

[1] The Hebrew text here is ambiguous, and may mean that the seraphim veiled their own faces and their own feet (cf. Ez. 1.11), but the sense given above is that of the Latin version.

[2] ‘I must needs keep silence’; in the Hebrew text, ‘I am lost!’; cf. Ex. 33.20.

[3] The effect of prophecy or preaching, if it is met by an impenitent attitude, is to put the hearer in a worse frame of mind than ever, since the message has become staled by repetition. Cf. Mt. 13.14; where, however, our Lord quotes the prophecy in a milder form.

[4] ‘It is but empty show’; in the Hebrew text, ‘it will once again be destroyed’.
