Bible Chapter Summary
Isaiah 6 Summary
Isaiah's Vision and Commission
Isaiah sees a vision of the Lord seated on his throne, high and exalted, with seraphim crying 'Holy, holy, holy.' Overwhelmed by his own sinfulness, Isaiah is cleansed by a burning coal. He then responds to God's call with the words 'Here am I. Send me!' and receives a sobering commission to a people who will hear but not understand.
