Isaiah 64:1-7

Legacy Standard Bible

64 ^[a]Oh, that You would rend the heavens and ^(A)come down,
That the mountains might ^(B)quake at Your presence—
^2 [b]As fire kindles the brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the ^(C)nations may tremble at Your presence!
³ When You did ^(D)awesome things for which we did not hope,
You came down; the mountains quaked at Your presence.
⁴ For from ancient times ^(E)they have not heard or given ear,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of the one who ^(F)waits for Him.
⁵ You ^(G)meet him who rejoices and ^(H)does righteousness,
Who ^(I)remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, ^(J)You were angry; indeed we have sinned—
We continued in them a long time—
And shall we be saved?
⁶ For all of us have become like one who is ^(K)unclean,
And all our ^(L)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us ^(M)wither like a leaf,
And our ^(N)iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.
⁷ There is ^(O)no one who calls on Your name,
Who awakens himself to take hold of You,
For You have ^(P)hidden Your face from us
And have ^[c]melted us into the hand of our iniquities.
