From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Seraphim
    mentioned in Isa. 6:2, 3, 6, 7. This word means fiery ones, in
    allusion, as is supposed, to their burning love. They are
    represented as "standing" above the King as he sat upon his
    throne, ready at once to minister unto him. Their form appears

    people the righteous penalty of sin.
