Isa 64:1

Isa 64:1Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,

Isa 64:2

Isa 64:2as when fire kindleth the brushwood, and the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

Isa 64:3

Isa 64:3When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence.

Isa 64:4

Isa 64:4For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God besides thee, who worketh for him that waiteth for him.

Isa 64:5

Isa 64:5Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: in them have we been of long time; and shall we be saved?

Isa 64:6

Isa 64:6For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

Isa 64:9Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

Isa 64:10

Isa 64:10Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Isa 64:11

Isa 64:11Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
