Isaiah 64
64
1Oh, that thou wouldest breake the heauens, and come downe, and that the mountaines might melt at thy presence! 2As the melting fire burned, as the fire caused the waters to boyle, (that thou mightest declare thy Name to thy aduersaries) the people did tremble at thy presence. 3When thou diddest terrible things, which we looked not for, thou camest downe, and the mountaines melted at thy presence. 4For since the beginning of the world they haue not heard nor vnderstande with the eare, neither hath ye eye seene another God beside thee, which doeth so to him that waiteth for him. 5Thou diddest meete him, that reioyced in thee, and did iustly: they remembred thee in thy wayes: beholde, thou art angrie, for we haue sinned: yet in them is continuance, and we shall be saued. 6But we haue all bene as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnes is as filthie cloutes, and we all doe fade like a leafe, and our iniquities like the winde haue taken vs away. 7And there is none that calleth vpon thy Name, neither that stirreth vp himselfe to take holde of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from vs, and hast consumed vs because of our iniquities. 8But now, O Lord, thou art our Father: we are the clay, and thou art our potter, and we all are the worke of thine hands. 9Be not angry, O Lord, aboue measure, neither remember iniquitie for euer: lo, we beseech thee beholde, we are all thy people. 10Thine holy cities lye waste: Zion is a wildernes, and Ierusalem a desart. 11The House of our Sanctuarie and of our glorie, where our fathers praysed thee, is burnt vp with fire and all our pleasant things are wasted. 12Wilt thou holde thy selfe still at these things, O Lord? wilt thou holde thy peace and afflict vs aboue measure?

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 64
64
1Oh, that You would tear the heavens open, come down, that mountains shall shake before You –
2as when fire burns twigs, as fire makes water boil – to make Your Name known to Your adversaries, so that nations tremble before You.
3When You did awesome matters, which we did not expect, You came down, mountains did shake before You!
4Since the beginning of the ages they have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any Elohim besides You, who acts for those who wait for Him.
5You shall meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers You in Your ways. See, You were wroth when we sinned in them a long time. And should we be saved?
6And all of us have become as one unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as soiled rags. And all of us fade like a leaf, and our crookednesses, like the wind, have taken us away.
7And there is no one who calls on Your Name, who stirs himself up to be strengthened#Commonly understood as “Take hold of.” in You; for You have hidden Your face from us, and have consumed us because of our crookednesses.
8And now, O יהוה, You are our Father. We are the clay, and You our potter. And we are all the work of Your hand.
9Do not be wroth, O יהוה, nor remember crookedness forever. See, please look, all of us are Your people!
10Your set-apart cities have become a wilderness, Tsiyon has become a wilderness, Yerushalayim a waste.
11Our set-apart and comely House, where our fathers praised You, has been burned up with fire. And all that we treasured has become a ruin.
12In view of all this, would You restrain Yourself, O יהוה? Would You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
