Yeshayah (Isaiah) 64
64
1Oh, that You would tear the heavens open, come down, that mountains shall shake before You –
2as when fire burns twigs, as fire makes water boil – to make Your Name known to Your adversaries, so that nations tremble before You.
3When You did awesome matters, which we did not expect, You came down, mountains did shake before You!
4Since the beginning of the ages they have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any Elohim besides You, who acts for those who wait for Him.
5You shall meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers You in Your ways. See, You were wroth when we sinned in them a long time. And should we be saved?
6And all of us have become as one unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as soiled rags. And all of us fade like a leaf, and our crookednesses, like the wind, have taken us away.
7And there is no one who calls on Your Name, who stirs himself up to be strengthened#Commonly understood as “Take hold of.” in You; for You have hidden Your face from us, and have consumed us because of our crookednesses.
8And now, O יהוה, You are our Father. We are the clay, and You our potter. And we are all the work of Your hand.
9Do not be wroth, O יהוה, nor remember crookedness forever. See, please look, all of us are Your people!
10Your set-apart cities have become a wilderness, Tsiyon has become a wilderness, Yerushalayim a waste.
11Our set-apart and comely House, where our fathers praised You, has been burned up with fire. And all that we treasured has become a ruin.
12In view of all this, would You restrain Yourself, O יהוה? Would You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?

Isaiah 64
64
1 #Isaiah 64:1 in the English Bible begins here. In the Hebrew Bible, 63:19 continues Would that you would tear the heavens and come down;
the mountains would quake before you,
2#Isaiah 64:2–12 in the English Bible is 64:1–11 in the Hebrew Bible as fire kindles brushwood,
the fire causes water to boil,
to make your name known to your adversaries,
that the nations might tremble from your presence.#Literally “face”
3When you did terrible deeds which we did not expect,#Literally “await” you came down;
the mountains quaked because of your presence.#Literally “face”
4And since ancient times they have not heard,
have not listened,
no eye has seen a God except you;
he acts#Literally “makes” for the one who waits for him.
5You meet with the one who rejoices,
one who does righteousness.
In your ways they remember you.
Look! You were angry and we sinned against them in ancient times and we were saved.
6And we all have become like the unclean,
and all our deeds of justice like a menstrual cloth,
And we all wither like a leaf,
and our iniquities take us away like the wind.
7And there is no one who calls on your name,
who pulls himself up to keep hold of you,
for you have hidden your face from us,#Or “him”
and melted us into the hand of our iniquity.
8Yet now Yahweh, you are our father;
we are the clay and you are our potter,#Literally “one who fashions”
and we all are the work of your hand.
9You must not be exceedingly angry, Yahweh,
and you must not remember iniquity forever!
Look! Behold, now! We all are your people!
10Your holy cities#Literally “The cities of your holiness” have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11Our holy and beautiful temple,#Literally “the house of our holiness and our beauty” where our ancestors#Or “fathers” praised you has been burned#Literally “been for burning” by fire,
and all our precious objects have become ruins.#Hebrew “ruin”
12Will you control yourself because of these, Yahweh?
Will you be silent?
And will you oppress us exceedingly?
