Isa 64:1
[fn]Oh H3863, that You would rend H7167 the heavens H8064 and come H3381 down H3381,
That the mountains H2022 might quake H2151 at Your presence H6440—
Isa 64:2
[fn]As fire H784 kindles H6919 the brushwood H2003, as fire H784 causes water H4325 to boil H1158—
To make H3045 Your name H8034 known H3045 to Your adversaries H6862,
That the nations H1471 may tremble H7264 at Your presence H6440!
Isa 64:3
When You did H6213 awesome H3372 things H3372 for which we did not hope H6960,
You came H3381 down H3381; the mountains H2022 quaked H2151 at Your presence H6440.
Isa 64:4
For from H5769 ancient H5769 times they have not heard H8085 or H3808 given H238 ear H238,
Nor H408 has the eye H5869 seen H7200 a God H430 besides H2108 You,
Who acts H6213 in behalf of the one who waits H2442 for Him.
Isa 64:5
You meet H6293 him who rejoices H7797 and does H6213 righteousness H6664,
Who remembers H2142 You in Your ways H1870.
Behold H2005, You were H7107 angry H7107; indeed we have sinned H2398—
We continued in them a long H5769 time H5769—
And shall we be saved H3467?
Isa 64:6
For all H3605 of us have become H1961 like one who is unclean H2931,
And all H3605 our righteous H6666 deeds H6666 are like a filthy H5708 garment H899;
And all H3605 of us wither H5034 like a leaf H5929,
And our iniquities H5771, like the wind H7307, carry H5375 us away.
Isa 64:7
There H369 is H369 no H369 one H369 who calls H7121 on Your name H8034,
Who awakens H5782 himself to take H2388 hold H2388 of You,
For You have hidden H5641 Your face H6440 from us
And have [fn]melted H4042 us into the hand H3027 of our iniquities H5771.
Isa 64:8
But now H6258, O Yahweh H3068, You are our Father H1;
We are the clay H2563, and You our potter H3335;
And all H3605 of us are the work H4639 of Your hand H3027.
Isa 64:9
Do not be H7107 angry H7107 beyond H5704 measure H3966, O Yahweh H3068,
Nor H408 remember H2142 iniquity H5771 forever H5703;
Behold H2005, look H5027 now H4994, all H3605 of us are Your people H5971.
Isa 64:10
Your holy H6944 cities H5892 have become H1961 a wilderness H4057;
Zion H6726 has become H1961 a wilderness H4057,
Jerusalem H3389 a desolation H8077.
Isa 64:11
Our holy H6944 and glorious H8597 house H1004,
Where H834 our fathers H1 praised H1984 You,
Has been H1961 burned H8316 by fire H784;
And all H3605 our precious H4261 things H4261 have become H1961 a waste H2723 place H2723.
Isa 64:12
Will You restrain H662 Yourself at these H428 things H428, O Yahweh H3068?
Will You keep H2814 silent H2814 and afflict H6031 us beyond H5704 measure H3966?
