Isaiah 64
64
1#Mic 1:3–4; Ps 68:8 Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains might shake at Your presence,
2#Ps 99:1; Jer 5:22 as when the melting fire burns,
as the fire causes the waters to boil,
to make Your name known to Your adversaries,
that the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3#Ps 66:3; 66:5 When You did awesome things for which we did not look,
You came down; the mountains quaked at Your presence.
4#Ps 31:19; Isa 25:9 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard,
nor perceived by ear,
neither has the eye seen a God besides You,
who acts for the one who waits for Him.
5#Ex 20:24 You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,
those who remember You in Your ways.
Indeed, You were angry, for we had sinned;
in our sins we remained a long time,
and shall we be saved?
6#Ps 90:5–6; Isa 6:5 But we all are as an unclean thing,
and all our righteousness is as filthy rags;
and we all fade as a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7#Eze 22:30; Hos 7:7 There is no one 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 because of our iniquities.
8#Isa 63:16; 29:16 But now, O Lord, You are our Father;
we are the clay, and You are our potter;
and we all are the work of Your hand.
9#Ps 74:1–2; 79:13 Do not be wrathful beyond measure, O Lord,
nor remember iniquity forever;
look upon us, we pray,
we all are Your people.
10#Isa 1:7 Your holy cities are a wilderness;
Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11#2Ki 25:9; Ps 74:5–7 Our holy and beautiful house where our fathers praised You
is burned up with fire;
and all our precious things are laid waste.
12#Isa 42:14; Ps 74:10–11 Will You refrain Yourself from these things, O Lord?
Will You hold Your peace and afflict us beyond measure?

Isaiah 64
64
A Prayer for God’s Power
1If only You would rend the heavens and come down,
so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
2as fire kindles the brushwood
and causes the water to boil,
to make Your name known to Your enemies,
so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!
3When You did awesome works that we did not expect,
You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.
4From ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides You,
who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.#64:4 Cited in 1 Corinthians 2:9
5You welcome those who gladly do right,
who remember Your ways.
Surely You were angry, for we sinned.
How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
6Each of us has become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;#64:6 Or like a stained menstrual garment
we all wither like a leaf,
and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
7No one calls on Your name
or strives to take hold of You.
For You have hidden Your face from us
and delivered us into the hand #64:7 LXX, Syriac, and Targum Yonaton; MT have made us melt in the hand of our iniquity.
8But now, O Lord, You are our Father;
we are the clay, and You are the potter;
we are all the work of Your hand.
9Do not be angry, O Lord, beyond measure;
do not remember our iniquity forever.
Oh, look upon us, we pray;
we are all Your people!
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness.
Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and beautiful temple,
where our fathers praised You,
has been burned with fire,
and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.
12After all this, O Lord,
will You restrain Yourself?
Will You keep silent
and afflict us beyond measure?
