But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.
Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon. And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.
Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight.
