The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their princes: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor [is] in your houses.

Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills trembled, and their carcasses [were] torn in the midst of the streets.

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and elevated, and his train filled the temple.

Above it stood seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy [is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
