2 Nephi 16:1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Nephi 16:2 Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 2 Nephi 16:3 And one cried unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory. 2 Nephi 16:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 2 Nephi 16:5 Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts. 2 Nephi 16:6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar; 2 Nephi 16:7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 2 Nephi 16:8 Also 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. 2 Nephi 16:9 And he said: Go and tell this people--Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not. 2 Nephi 16:10 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. 2 Nephi 16:11 Then said I: Lord, how long? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate; 2 Nephi 16:12 And the Lord have removed men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. 2 Nephi 16:13 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 seed shall be the substance thereof. _ |
