In an essay on Isaiah 6, R. W. L. Moberly notes that the cleansing of Isaiah’s lips and his commission as a prophet binds him with God in a way that is different from most of Israel. As a result, “his life takes a different course from that of Israel generally.”
A purged man in an unclean people, a prophet with clean lips, is bound to be on a collision course with Israel.
