Isaiah 64

Revised Version 1895

1Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest comeH7264 downH6440, that the mountains might flow downH6440 at thy presenceH6440; 2as when fire kindleth the brushwood, and the fire causeth the waters to boil: to makeH6213 thy name knownH3808 to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presenceH6440. 3When thou didst terrible things whichH5869 weH8085 lookedH7200 notH3808 for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presenceH5869. 4For from of oldH5769 menH6213 have notH1870 heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God beside thee, which worketh for him that waiteth for him. 5Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousnessH6666, thoseH3605 that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, and weH3605 sinned: in them have weH3605 been of long time, and shall weH3605 be saved? 6For weH3588 are allH4480 becomeH7121 as one that is unclean, and allH4480 our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and weH3588 allH4480 doH3027 fade as a leaf; and our iniquitiesH5771, like the wind, takeH2388 usH3588 awayH4480. 7And there is noneH3605 that calleth uponH3027 thy name, that stirreth upH3605 himselfH3027 to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from usH3027, and hast consumed usH3027 by meansH3027 of our iniquities. 8But nowH4994, O LORDH3068, thou art our father; weH5704 are the clay, and thou our potter; and weH5704 allH3605 are the work of thy hand. 9Be notH1961 wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 10Thy holyH6944 cities are becomeH1961 a wilderness, Zion is becomeH1961 a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolationH2723. 11Our holy and our beautiful house, whereH5921 our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire; and allH5704 our pleasant things are laidH428 waste. 12Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
