Isaiah 6:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And one cried to another, and said, [a]Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole [b]world is full of his glory.
4 And the lintels of the door cheeks [c]moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then I said, [d]Woe is me: for I am undone, because I am a man of polluted lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of polluted lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, and Lord of hosts.

- Isaiah 6:3 This oft repetition signifieth, that the Holy Angels cannot satisfy themselves in praising God, to teach us that in all our lives we should give ourselves to the continual praise of God.
- Isaiah 6:3 His glory doth not only appear in the heavens, but through all the world, and therefore all creatures are bound, to praise him.
- Isaiah 6:4 Which things were to confirm the Prophet, that it was not the voice of man: and by the smoke was signified the blindness that should come upon the Jews.
- Isaiah 6:5 He speaketh this for two causes: the one because he that was a mortal creature, and therefore had more need to glorify God than the Angels, did it not: and the other because the more near that man approacheth to God, the more doth he know his own sin and corruption.
