Isaiah says it to God, in his vision of the Lord on his throne.

## The verse

> Then I heard the Lord’s voice asking, “Whom am I to send, and who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am; send me.”
>
> — [Isaiah 6:8](https://www.lumin.faith/read/isaiah/6#8) (Lumin Translation)

These exact words are in the King James Bible. The Lumin Translation, a modern English Bible, is quoted here, and it words the verse differently.

## What it means there

Moments earlier Isaiah had cried out that he was ruined, a man of unclean lips, and a coal from the altar had touched his mouth. He volunteers only after he has been made clean.
