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
1Oh that you would tear the heavens,
that you would come down,
that the mountains might quake at your presence—
2as when fire kindles the brushwood,
and the fire causes the water to boil.
Make your name known to your adversaries,
that the nations may tremble at your presence!
3When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for,
you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
4For from of old men have not heard,
nor perceived by the ear,
nor has the eye seen a God besides you,
who works for him who waits for him.
5You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
those who remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned.
We have been in sin for a long time.
Shall we be saved?
6For we have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment.
We all fade like a leaf;
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7There is no one who calls on your name,
who stirs himself up to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
8But now, Yahweh, you are our Father.
We are the clay and you our potter.
We all are the work of your hand.
9Don’t be furious, Yahweh.
Don’t remember iniquity forever.
Look and see, we beg you,
we are all your people.
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness.
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you
is burned with fire.
All our pleasant places are laid waste.
12Will you hold yourself back for these things, Yahweh?
Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
