Chapter 64
Isai NHEBME 64:1  Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
Isai NHEBME 64:2  as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
Isai NHEBME 64:3  When you did awesome things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
Isai NHEBME 64:4  For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
Isai NHEBME 64:5  You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time; and shall we be saved?
Isai NHEBME 64:6  For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Isai NHEBME 64:7  There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Isai NHEBME 64:8  But now, Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
Isai NHEBME 64:9  Do not be furious, Lord, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg you, we are all your people.
Isai NHEBME 64:10  Your holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Isai NHEBME 64:11  Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
Isai NHEBME 64:12  Will you refrain yourself for these things, Lord? Will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
