2 Nephi 16

(16:1-13) More Isaiah (Chapter 6)

(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.
(16:2) Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. Isaiah 16:1-2

(16:2, 6) "seraphims" -- 1830 Book of Mormon
The plural of seraph is seraphim, not seraphims, as in the KJV. The 1830 edition copied the KJV error, which was corrected in later translations.

(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.
(16:4) And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
(16:5) Then said I, Woe is 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. -- Isaiah 6:3-5

(16:5) "Wo me!" -- 1830 Book of Mormon
The 1830 edition left off the italicized word "is" from the KJV, which was corrected in later verions.

(16:6) Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
(16:7) And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
(16:8) Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. -- Isaiah 6:6-8

(16:8) "Here I; send me." -- 1830 Book of Mormon
The KJV italicized word "am" was deleted in the 1830 version.

(16:9) And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
(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 convert, and be healed. -- Isaiah 6:9-10

(16:10) God will prevent people from hearing and understanding "lest they ... convert and be healed."

(16:11) Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
(16:12) And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
(16:13) But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it 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. -- Isaiah 6:11-13

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.
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.
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.
16:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
16:12 And the Lord have removed men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
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.
