Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, 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!"

5:11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning, That they may follow intoxicating drink,
5:18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity,
5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
5:21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
5:22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
5:22-23 Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man!

Then I said, "Lord, how long?“
The Truthful Answer
And He answered: "Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, the houses are without a man, the land is utterly desolate, the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
The Ray of Hope
13 But yet a tenth will be in it, And will return and be for consuming, As a terebinth tree or as an oak, Whose stump remains when it is cut down. So the holy seed shall be its stump."
