And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory”
Absolutely Set Apart and Morally perfect
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined!
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! Isaiah hasn't changed His understanding has
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty”
