Isaiah 64
64
CHAPTER 64
1I would that thou brakest heavens, and camest down, that hills floated away from thy face,
2and failed [or vanish away], as the burning of fire, and [waters] burnt in [or with] fire; that thy name were made known to thine enemies, and folks were troubled of thy face.
3When thou shalt do marvels, we shall not abide. Thou camest down, and hills [or mountains] floated away from thy face.
4From the world they heard not, neither perceived with ears; God, none eye saw, without thee, what things thou hast made ready to them that abide thee.
5Thou mettest him that is glad, and doeth rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; in thy ways they shall bethink on thee. Lo! thou art wroth, and we sinned; in those sins we were ever, and we shall be saved.
6And all we be made as an unclean man; all our rightfulnesses [or rightwisenesses] be as the cloth of a woman in menstruation, or unclean blood; and all we fell down as a leaf, and our wickednesses, as wind, have taken away us.
7None is, that calleth thy name to help, that riseth, and holdeth thee; thou hast hid thy face from us, and thou hast hurtled down us in the hand of our wickedness.
8And now, Lord, thou art our father; forsooth we be clay, and thou art our maker, and all we be the works of thine hands.
9Lord, be thou not wroth enough, and have thou no more mind on our wickedness. Lo! Lord, behold thou, all we be thy people.
10The city of thy holy, either thy saintuary, is forsaken, Zion is made desert, Jerusalem is made desolate;
11the house of our hallowing and of our glory, where our fathers praised thee, is made into burning of fire; and all our desirable things be turned into fallings.
12Lord, whether on these things thou shalt withhold thee? shalt thou be still, and shalt thou torment us greatly?

Isaiah 64
64
1O that thou wouldst rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains might quake at thy presence—
2 # 64.2 Ch 64.1 in Heb as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
to make thy name known to thy adversaries,
and that the nations might tremble at thy presence!
3When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for,
thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence.

1 Cor 2.9. From of old no one has heard
or perceived by the ear,
no eye has seen a God besides thee,
who works for those who wait for him.
5Thou meetest him that joyfully works righteousness,
those that remember thee in thy ways.
Behold, thou wast angry, and we sinned;
in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?#64.5 Hebrew obscure
6We have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
We all fade like a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7There is no one that calls upon thy name,
that bestirs himself to take hold of thee;
for thou hast hid thy face from us,
and hast delivered#64.7 Gk Syr Old Latin Tg: Heb melted us into the hand of our iniquities.
8Yet, O Lord, thou art our Father;
we are the clay, and thou art our potter;
we are all the work of thy hand.
9Be not exceedingly angry, O Lord,
and remember not iniquity for ever.
Behold, consider, we are all thy people.
10Thy holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and beautiful house,
where our fathers praised thee,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12Wilt thou restrain thyself at these things, O Lord?
Wilt thou keep silent, and afflict us sorely?
