Isaiah 64 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

[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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Your holy ^H6944 cities ^H5892 have become ^H1961 a wilderness ^H4057;

Zion ^H6726 has become ^H1961 a wilderness ^H4057,

Jerusalem ^H3389 a desolation ^H8077.

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.

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?
