AB - Isaiah - 64

64:1  If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from You, and they shall melt,

64:2  as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and Your name shall be manifest among the adversaries; at Your presence the nations shall be troubled,

64:3  whenever You shall work gloriously; trembling from You shall take hold upon the mountains.

64:4  From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God besides You, and Your works which You will perform to them that wait for mercy.

64:5  For these blessings shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember Your ways; behold, You were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,

64:6  and we have all become as unclean, and all our righteousness is as a filthy rag; and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us away.

64:7  And there is none that calls upon Your name, or that remembers to take hold of You; for You have turned Your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our sins.

64:8  And now, O Lord, You are our Father, and we are clay, all of us the work of Your hands.

64:9  Be not very angry with us, and remember not our sins forever; but now look on us, for we are all Your people.

64:10  The city of Your holiness has become desolate, Zion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.

64:11  The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burned with fire; and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.

64:12  And for all these things You, O Lord, have withheld Yourself, and have been silent, and have brought us very low.
