Isaiah 64
64
As Unclean Rags
1As fire kindles brushwood, as fire causes water to boil, make Your Name known to Your foes, so the nations may tremble before You!
2When You did awesome things that we were not expecting, You came down— the mountains shook at Your presence!
3For from days of old no one has heard, no ear perceived, no eye has seen God, except You, who acts on behalf of the one waiting for Him.
4You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness, who remembers You in Your ways. Behold, You were angry. When we keep sinning all the time, would we be saved?
5For all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a filthy garment, and all of us wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away, like the wind.
6No one calls on Your Name, or stirs himself up to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
7But now, Adonai, You are our Father. We are the clay and You are our potter, We are all the work of Your hand.
8Do not be angry much more, Adonai, or remember iniquity forever. Oh, please see, we are all Your people!
9Your holy cities became a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
10Our holy and beautiful House, where our fathers praised You, Has been burned with fire— all our pleasant things are laid waste.
11Will You restrain Yourself at these things? Adonai, will You stay silent, and afflict us very severely?

Isaiah 64
64
1Didst Thou not rend the heavens? Thou didst come down, From thy presence did mountains flow,
2(As fire kindleth stubble — Fire causeth water to boil,) To make known Thy name to Thine adversaries, From Thy presence do nations tremble.
3In Thy doing fearful things — we expect not, Thou didst come down, From Thy presence did mountains flow.
4Even from antiquity [men] have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye hath not seen a God save Thee, He doth work for those waiting for Him.
5Thou hast met with the rejoicer And the doer of righteousness, In Thy ways they remember Thee, Lo, Thou hast been wroth when we sin, By them [is] continuance, and we are saved.
6And we are as unclean — all of us, And as a garment passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf — all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away.
7And there is none calling in Thy name, Stirring up himself to lay hold on Thee, For Thou hast hid Thy face from us, And thou meltest us away by our iniquities.
8And now, O Jehovah, thou [art] our Father, We [are] the clay, and Thou our Framer, And the work of Thy hand — all of us.
9Be not wroth, O Jehovah, very sore, Nor for ever remember iniquity, Lo, look attentively, we beseech Thee, Thy people [are] we all.
10Thy holy cities have been a wilderness, Zion a wilderness hath been, Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and our beautiful house, Where praise Thee did our fathers, Hath become burnt with fire, And all our desirable things have become a waste.
12For these dost Thou refrain Thyself, Jehovah? Thou art silent, and dost afflict us very sore!’
