Isaiah 64
64
1Oh that youi would rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) the heavens, that youi would come down, that the mountains might flow down at youri presence!
2As [when] the melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make youi name known to youri adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble at youri presence!
3When youi did terrible things [which] we looked not for, youi came down, the mountains flowed down at youri presence.
4For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], beside youi, [what] he has prepared for him that waits for him.
5Youi meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, [those that] remember youi in youri ways: behold, youi are exceedingly angry; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7And [there is] none that calls upon youri name, that stirs up himself to take hold of youi: for youi have hid youri face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8But now, O Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi [are] our father; we [are] the clay, and youi our potter; and we all [are] the work of youri hand.
9Be not exceedingly angry very sore, O Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), neither remember iniquity forever: behold, see, we beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, we [are] all youi people.
10Your1s holy cities are a wilderness, Tziyon [parched place] is a wilderness, Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] a desolation.
11Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised youi, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12Will youi refrain yourself for these [things], O Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)? will youi hold youri peace, and afflict us very sore?

Isaiah 64
64
1If only you would tear the heavens open
and come down,#Ex 19:18; Ps 18:9; 144:5
so that mountains would quake at your presence#Jdg 5:5; Ps 68:8; Nah 1:5 —
2just as fire kindles brushwood,
and fire boils water —
to make your name known to your enemies,
so that nations would tremble at your presence!
3When you did awesome works#Dt 10:21; 2Sm 7:23; Ps 65:5
that we did not expect,
you came down,#Mc 1:3–4; Hab 3:13
and the mountains quaked at your presence.
4From ancient times no one has heard,
no one has listened to,
no eye has seen any God except you
who acts on behalf of the one who waits for him.#1Co 2:9
5You welcome the one who joyfully does what is right;
they remember you in your ways.
But we have sinned, and you were angry.
How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?#64:5 Lit angry; in them continually and we will be saved; Hb obscure
6All of us have become like something unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like a polluted#64:6 Lit menstrual garment;#Is 61:10; Php 3:7–9
all of us wither like a leaf,#Ps 90:5–6; Is 1:30
and our iniquities#Is 13:11 carry us away like the wind.
7No one calls on your name,
striving to take hold of you.
For you have hidden your face from us#Is 54:8
and made us melt because of#64:7 LXX, Syr, Vg, Tg read and delivered us into the hand of#64:7 Lit melt by the hand of our iniquity.
8Yet Lord, you are our Father;#Is 63:16
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we all are the work of your hands.#Is 29:16; 45:9; Jr 18:2–6; Rm 9:20–21
9 Lord, do not be terribly angry
or remember our iniquity forever.#Is 43:25; 57:17; Mc 7:18
Please look — all of us are your people!
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.#Is 62:4
11Our holy and beautiful#64:11 Or glorious; Is 60:7 temple,
where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned down,
and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.#2Kg 25:9; Ps 74:5–7; Is 63:18; Mt 23:38
12 Lord, after all this, will you restrain yourself?
Will you keep silent and afflict us severely?#Is 42:14
