2 Seraphim stood above Him, (C)each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 And one called out to another and said,
4 And the (b)foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the (c)(F)temple was filling with smoke.

“Until (U)cities are devastated and without inhabitant,
Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,

13
Houses are without people
And the land is utterly desolate,
