Isa 64:1

Isa 64:1O that thou wouldst rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence--

Isa 64:11Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, has been burned by fire, and all our pleasant places have become ruins.

Isa 64:12

Isa 64:12Wilt thou restrain thyself at these things, O LORD? Wilt thou keep silent, and afflict us sorely?
