The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
64: 1Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might
quake at your presence, 64:2as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to
boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your
presence! 64:3When you did terrible things which we didn't look for, you came down, the mountains
quaked at your presence. 64:4For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither
has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him. 64:5You meet him who
rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways: behold, you were angry,
and we sinned: in them have we been of long time; and shall we be saved? 64:6For we are all
become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness are as a polluted garment: and we all do
fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. 64:7There is none who calls on your
name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hid your face from us, and have
consumed us by means of our iniquities. 64:8But now, Yahweh, you are our Father; we are the clay,
and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand. 64:9Don't be angry very sore, Yahweh,
neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people. 64:10Your holy
cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. 64:11Our holy
and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant
places are laid waste. 64:12Will you refrain yourself for these things, Yahweh? will you hold your
peace, and afflict us very sore?
