What does romeo compare his kiss with Juliet with?
The act of confession, a sacrament in the Catholic Church in which one's sin is absolved. "Thus from my lips by thine my sin is purged."
What does 'Saints do not move though grant for prayers sake' mean?
This line is from Juliet, 5th scene of act 1, it´s from her first dialog with Romeo, as he makes his first move to meet Juliet. He compares her to a holy shrine, or a sacred sanctuary, and his lips as devoted pilgrims. Juliet responds that he does wrong his hands too much, and asks which mannerly devotion was being shown as pilgrims do touch saints´ hands as palms touch like a kiss from a devotee, or a holy palmer´s kiss. Then Romeo refutes if saints don´t have lips and followers too. She replies that they own lips to be used only in prayer, then he calls her a dear saint and asks her to let lips do what hands do. His lips pray for a kiss, without which he will turn to dispair. Juliet replies that Saints do not move, though for prayers´ sake. This is the moment when Romeo makes his move to kiss her asking her not to move while the effect of what he was praying for is taken, The KISS. "Move not, while my prayer´s effect I take. Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged." Juliet answers then have my lips the sin that they have took? Romeo says, sin form thy lips? Trespass sweetly urged, give me my sin again. Juliet says, you kiss by the book. And so they are interrupted by the nurse. This is the dialog that made them fall in love completely with each other.

What does Isaiah chapter 6verse 7 mean?
If you include verse 6 as well we have "6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. We will find the explanation clear enough in that fire cleanses. This is symbolic of Isaiah seeing the Lord and having his sins forgiven him.
Who put fiery coals on prophet's tongue?
Coals were not put on the prophet's tongue:Isaiah 6:5-8: So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts." Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged." Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."
