Isaiah 64
64
Prayer for Mercy and Help
1 # 64:1 Ch 63:19b in Heb Oh, that You would tear open the heavens and come down,
That the mountains would quake at Your presence—
2 # 64:2 Ch 64:1 in Heb As fire kindles brushwood, as fire causes water to boil—
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
That the nations may tremble at Your presence!
3When You did awesome things which we did not expect,
You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence.
4For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear,
Nor has the eye seen a God besides You,
Who acts in behalf of one who waits for Him.
5You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness,
Who remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in #64:5 Lit themour sins for a long time;
Yet shall we be saved?
6For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our wrongdoings, like the wind, take us away.
7There is no one who calls on Your name,
Who stirs himself to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us
And have #64:7 As in DSS and ancient versions; MT meltedsurrendered us to the power of our wrongdoings.
8¶But now, Lord, You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our potter,
And all of us are the work of Your hand.
9Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord,
Nor remember wrongdoing forever.
Behold, please look, all of us are Your people.
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and beautiful house,
Where our fathers praised You,
Has been burned by fire;
And all our precious things have become a ruin.
12Will You restrain Yourself at these things, Lord?
Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?

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?
