Isaiah 64
1If onlyH3863 You would rendH7167 the heavensH8064 and come downH3381, so that mountainsH2022 would quakeH2151 at Your presenceH6440,2as fireH784 kindlesH6919 the brushwoodH2003 and causes the waterH4325 to boilH1158, to make Your nameH8034 knownH3045 to Your enemiesH6862, so that the nationsH1471 will trembleH7264 at Your presenceH6440!
3When You didH6213 awesome worksH3372 that we did notH3808 expectH6960,You came downH3381, and the mountainsH2022 trembledH2151 at Your presenceH6440.4From ancient timesH5769 noH3808 one has heardH8085,noH3808 ear has perceivedH238,noH3808 eyeH5869 has seenH7200 any GodH430 besides YouH2108,who actsH6213 on behalf of those who waitH2442 for Him.1
5You welcomeH6293 those who gladlyH7797 doH6213 rightH6664,who rememberH2142 Your waysH1870.SurelyH2005 YouH859 were angryH7107, for we sinnedH2398.How can we be savedH3467 if we remain in our sinsH5769?6Each of usH3605 has becomeH1961 like something uncleanH2931,and allH3605 our righteous actsH6666 are like filthyH5708 ragsH899;2we allH3605 witherH5034 like a leafH5929,and our iniquitiesH5771 carry us awayH5375 like the windH7307.7NoH369 one callsH7121 on Your nameH8034or strivesH5782 to take holdH2388 of You.ForH3588 You have hiddenH5641 Your faceH6440 from usH4480and delivered usH4127 into the handH30273 of our iniquityH5771.
8But nowH6258, O LORDH3068, YouH859 are our FatherH1;weH587 are the clayH2563, and YouH859 are the potterH3335;we are allH3605 the workH4639 of Your handH3027.9Do notH408 be angryH7107, O LORDH3068, beyondH5704 measureH3966;do notH408 rememberH2142 our iniquityH5771 foreverH5703.OhH2005, look upon usH5027, we prayH4994;we are allH3605 Your peopleH5971!10Your holyH6944 citiesH5892 have becomeH1961 a wildernessH4057.ZionH6726 has becomeH1961 a wastelandH4057 and JerusalemH3389 a desolationH8077.11Our holyH6944 and beautifulH8597 templeH1004,whereH834 our fathersH1 praised YouH1984,has beenH1961 burnedH8316 with fireH784,and allH3605 that was dear to usH4261 liesH1961 in ruinsH2723.12AfterH5921 all thisH428, O LORDH3068,will You restrain YourselfH662?Will You keep silentH2814and afflict usH6031 beyondH5704 measureH3966?
