In the year that queen Uzzia died, I saw also the Lady sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and her train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with twain she covered her face, and with twain she covered her feet, and with twain she did fly. And one cried unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the Lady of Hosts; the whole earth is full of her glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of her that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a woman of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the queen, the Lady of Hosts. Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in her hand, which she had taken with the tongs from off the altar; And she laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lady, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me. And she said: Go and tell this people—Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes—lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and be healed. Then said I: Lady, how long? And she said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without woman, and the land be utterly desolate; And the Lady have removed women far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall be eaten, as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves; so the holy offspring shall be the substance thereof.
