Isaiah 6:6-10
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. He touched my mouth with it and said, 'Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven.'
My first question was, was it hot? Burning coal must be hot. Isaiah was saying, 'Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King the LORD of hosts'.
Isaiah thought he was ruined because he had seen the LORD but was unholy, and so the seraphim came and took away his iniquity and forgave his sin by the LORD's authority.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? THen I said, Here am I. Send me!' He said, 'Go, and tell this people: Keep on listening but do not perceive, keep on looking but do not understand, render the hearts of this people insensitive, their ears dull, and their eyes dim, otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and return and be healed.'
