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
LXIV
1O that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down,
That the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2As the fire kindleth the dry fuel,
As the fire causeth the waters to boil,
To make known thy name to thine adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at thy presence.
3When thou didst terrible things, which we expected not;
Thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
4For from the remotest time men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear.
Neither hath the eye seen any God beside Thee,
That doeth such things for those who wait for him.
5Thou meetest them that rejoice and do justice,
Those that remember thee in thy ways:
Behold, thou wast wroth, when we sinned;
Thou watt against them of old, and shall we be saved?
6We are all of us as an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are as a filthy garment;
And we are all of us withered like a leaf;
And our iniquities, like the wind, have carried us away.
7There is none that calleth upon thy name,
That stirreth up himself to take hold of thee;
For thou hast hid thy face from us,
And caused us to melt away by reason of our sins.
8But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father;
We are the clay, and thou hast formed us:
We are all of us the work of thy hand.
9Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah,
Neither remember iniquity for ever:
Behold! see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
10Thy holy cities are a wilderness,
Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and our beautiful house,
Where our fathers praised thee,
Is burned up with fire;
And all the objects of our desire are laid waste.
12Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Jehovah?
Wilt thou keep silence, and afflict us very sore?
