1 El año de la muerte del rey Uzías vi a ʼAdonay sentado sobre un trono alto y excelso, y sus ropas llenaban el Templo. 2 Por encima de Él había serafines. Cada uno tenía seis alas: con dos cubrían sus rostros, con dos cubrían sus pies y con dos volaban. 3 El uno proclamaba al otro: ¡Santo, Santo, Santo, Yavé de las huestes! ¡Toda la tierra está llena de su gloria! 4 Los postes de las puertas se estremecían con la voz del que proclamaba, y el Templo se saturó de humo. 5 Entonces dije: ¡Ay de mí porque estoy muerto! Porque soy hombre de labios impuros. Vivo en medio de un pueblo que tiene labios impuros. ¡Y mis ojos vieron al Rey Yavé de las huestes! 6 Pero uno de los serafines voló hacia mí con un carbón encendido en la mano, el cual tomó del altar con unas tenazas. 7 Tocó mi boca con él y dijo: Mira, esto toca tus labios. Tu culpa es quitada es y tu pecado perdonado. 8 Entonces escuché la voz de ʼAdonay que decía: ¿A quién enviaré y quién irá por nosotros? Entonces dije: Aquí estoy, envíame a mí. 9 Y dijo: Vé y dí a este pueblo: Escuchen bien, pero no entiendan. Miren ciertamente, pero no comprendan. 10 Priva de sensibilidad el corazón de este pueblo, y que sus oídos se endurezcan y sus ojos se cieguen, no sea que miren con sus ojos, escuchen con sus oídos, entiendan con su corazón, se conviertan y sean sanados. 11 Entonces pregunté: ¿Hasta cuándo, ʼAdonay? Y Él respondió: Hasta cuando las ciudades estén devastadas y sin habitantes, no haya gente en las casas y la tierra esté absolutamente desolada, 12 hasta cuando Yavé aleje a los hombres y multiplique los lugares abandonados en medio de la tierra, 13 aunque quede en ella una décima parte, de nuevo será consumida. Pero como el roble o la encina, que al ser talados aún les queda el tronco, así será el tronco de ella, la descendencia santa.

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.
