Isaiah 64 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Isa 64:1

[fn]Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down,

That the mountains might quake at Your presence

Isa 64:2

[fn]As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil

To make Your name known to Your adversaries,

That the nations may tremble at Your presence!

Isa 64:3

When You did awesome things for which we did not hope,

You came down; the mountains quaked at Your presence.

Isa 64:4

For from ancient times they have not heard or given ear,

Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,

Who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him.

Isa 64:5

You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,

Who remembers You in Your ways.

Behold, You were angry; indeed we have sinned

We continued in them a long time

And shall we be saved?

Isa 64:6

For all of us have become like one who is unclean,

And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;

And all of us wither like a leaf,

And our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.

Isa 64:7

There is no one who calls on Your name,

Who awakens himself to take hold of You,

For You have hidden Your face from us

And have [fn]melted us into the hand of our iniquities.

Isa 64:8

But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father;

We are the clay, and You our potter;

And all of us are the work of Your hand.

Isa 64:9

Do not be angry beyond measure, O Yahweh,

Nor remember iniquity forever;

Behold, look now, all of us are Your people.

Isa 64:10

Your holy cities have become a wilderness;

Zion has become a wilderness,

Jerusalem a desolation.

Isa 64:11

Our holy and glorious house,

Where our fathers praised You,

Has been burned by fire;

And all our precious things have become a waste place.

Isa 64:12

Will You restrain Yourself at these things, O Yahweh?

Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
