The Book of Isaiah

Chapter 64

¹As fire kindles brushwood,

as fire causes water to boil,

to make your name known to your adversaries,

[that] before your face nations would tremble!

²When you did awesome things we did not expect,

you came down — before your face the mountains quaked.

³And from of old they have not heard, they have not perceived,

eye has not seen a God besides you,

who acts for the one who waits for Him.

⁴You met the one who rejoices and does righteousness;

in your ways they remember you.

Behold, you were angry and we sinned;

in them [we have been] for a long time — shall we be saved?

⁵And we have all become like the unclean,

and like a polluted garment are all our righteous deeds.

And we have all withered like a leaf,

and our iniquities like the wind carry us away.

⁶And there is none who calls upon your name,

who rouses himself to take hold of you.

For you have hidden your face from us,

and you have delivered us up into the hand of our iniquities.

⁷And now, YHWH — our Father are you!

We are the clay, and you are our potter,

and the work of your hand are all of us.

⁸Do not be angry, YHWH, beyond measure,

and do not remember iniquity forever!

Behold, look, we are all your people!

⁹Your holy cities have become a wilderness;

Zion has become a wilderness,

Jerusalem a desolation.

¹⁰The house of our holiness and our splendor,

where our fathers praised you,

has become a burning of fire,

and all our precious things have become a ruin.

¹¹In the face of these things will you restrain yourself, YHWH?

Will you be silent and afflict us beyond measure?
