ISAIAH ยท Chapter 64
64:1 Oh that you would rend the heavens, that you would come down, that
the mountains might flow down at your presence,
64:2 As when the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to
boil, to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may
tremble at your presence!
64:3 When you did terrible things which we looked not for, you came
down, the mountains flowed down at your presence.
64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived
by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside you, what he has prepared
for him that waits for him.
64:5 You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that
remember you in your ways: behold, you are angry; for we have sinned: in
those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses
are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like
the wind, have taken us away.
64:7 And there is none that calls upon your name, that stirs up himself
to take hold of you: for you have hid your face from us, and have consumed
us, because of our iniquities.
64:8 But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you
our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
64:9 Be not angry very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for
ever: behold, see, we plead to you, we are all your people.
64:10 Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem
a desolation.
64:11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you,
is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
64:12 Will you refrain yourself for these things, O LORD? will you
hold your peace, and afflict us very sore?
