64:1
Oh that You would rend the
aheavens, that You would
1come down —
That the mountains would
bshake at Your presence —
Isa. 64
:2
64:2
Like fire that kindles brushwood,
Like fire that causes water to boil,
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!

When You did awesome things that we did not expect,
You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence.
Isa. 64

For from of old,
men have not
aheard,
Nor perceived with the ear,
Neither has eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts for him who
bwaits for Him.
Isa. 64
:5
64:5
You meet him who rejoices and does
arighteousness,
Those who remember You in Your ways.
Yes, You were angry, for we sinned;
We have been in them for a long time, and shall we be saved?
Isa. 64
:6
64:6
For all of us became like him who is unclean,
And all
aour righteousnesses are like a
bsoiled garment;
And we all wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.
Isa. 64
:7
64:7
And there is no one who
1acalls upon Your name,
Who stirs himself up to
blay hold of You;
For You have
chidden Your face from us
And have
2consumed us by our iniquities.

But now, Jehovah, You are our
1aFather;
We are the
bclay; and You, our Potter;
And all of us are the work of Your hand.

Do not be angry to an extreme, O Jehovah,
Neither remember iniquity forever;
Look now, we pray: We all are Your people.

Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion is a wilderness,
aJerusalem a desolation.
Isa. 64

Our holy and beautiful
ahouse,
Where our fathers praised You,
Is burned with fire;
And all the things that we delighted in have become a ruin.

Will You restrain Yourself from these, O Jehovah?
Will You keep silent and afflict us to an extreme?
