1 En el año en que murió el rey Uzías, vi al Señor sentado en su lugar, alto y elevado. El borde de su manto llenaba el templo. 2 Encima de él estaban los serafines. Cada uno tenía seis alas: con dos se cubría el rostro, con dos se cubría los pies y con dos volaba. 3 Uno le gritaba a otro: Santo, santo, santo es el Señor de los ejércitos. Toda la tierra está llena de su gloria. 4 Las bases de los pilares de las puertas temblaban al sonido de su voz, y el templo se llenó de humo. 5 Entonces dije: ¡Ay de mí! ¡Estoy perdido! Soy un hombre de labios impuros y vivo entre un pueblo de labios impuros. ¡Mis ojos han visto al Rey, al Señor de los ejércitos! 6 Un serafín voló hacia mí con un carbón encendido en la mano, que había tomado del altar con unas tenazas. 7 Me tocó la boca con él y dijo: Este carbón ha tocado tus labios; tu maldad ha sido quitada y has sido purificado de tu pecado. 8 Oí la voz del Señor, que decía: ¿A quién enviaré? ¿Quién irá por nosotros? Yo respondí: Aquí estoy; envíame. 9 Él dijo: Ve y dile a este pueblo: Seguirán oyendo, pero no aprenderán nada; seguirán viendo, pero no entenderán. 10 Haz insensible el corazón de este pueblo; tapa sus oídos y cierra sus ojos, para que no vean con sus ojos ni oigan con sus oídos ni entiendan con su corazón, ni se vuelvan a mí y sean sanados. 11 Entonces pregunté: Señor, ¿hasta cuándo? Y él respondió: Hasta que las ciudades queden desoladas y sin habitantes, las casas sin gente y la tierra completamente arrasada; 12 hasta que el Señor haya llevado lejos a la gente y haya grandes extensiones desoladas en el país. 13 Aunque quede en él una décima parte, volverá a ser quemada, como un árbol del bosque cuyo tocón queda en la tierra después de haberlo cortado. La descendencia santa es ese tocón.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For the Scripture saith, "Ten thousand times ten thousand stood around Him, and thousands of thousands ministered unto Him, and cried, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the Lord of Sabaoth; the whole creation is full of His glory." And let us therefore, conscientiously gathering together in harmony, cry to Him earnestly, as with one mouth, that we may be made partakers …
After this invisible manner, therefore, did they see God, as also Esaias says, "I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts," pointing out that man should behold God with his eyes, and hear His voice.
… that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded, according as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of remorse, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day"?

"For in them is fulfilled," saith He, "the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive." Seest thou the prophet likewise, accusing them with this same accuracy?

And this throne the Prophet Esaias having beheld before the incarnate coming of the Saviour, says, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the rest.
