Isaiah 64	Isaiah 64
Isaiah 64:1 O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,	Isaiah 64:1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,
Isaiah 64:2 As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;	Isaiah 64:2 as when fire kindleth the brushwood, [and] the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
Isaiah 64:3 While you do acts of power for which we are not looking, and which have not come to the ears of men in the past.	Isaiah 64:3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence.
Isaiah 64:4 The ear has not had news of, or the eye seen, ... any God but you, working for the man who is waiting for him.	Isaiah 64:4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God besides thee, who worketh for him that waiteth for him.
Isaiah 64:5 Will you not have mercy on him who takes pleasure in doing righteousness, even on those who keep in mind your ways? Truly you were angry, and we went on doing evil, and sinning against you in the past.	Isaiah 64:5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: in them [have we been] of long time; and shall we be saved?
Isaiah 64:6 For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.	Isaiah 64:6 For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Isaiah 64:7 And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.	Isaiah 64:7 And there 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 hast consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, you are our father; we are the earth, and you are our maker; and we are all the work of your hand.	Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Isaiah 64:9 Be not very angry, O Lord, and do not keep our sins in mind for ever: give ear to our prayer, for we are all your people.	Isaiah 64:9 Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Isaiah 64:10 Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.	Isaiah 64:10 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Isaiah 64:11 Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.	Isaiah 64:11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
Isaiah 64:12 In view of all this, will you still do nothing, O Lord? will you keep quiet, and go on increasing our punishment?	Isaiah 64:12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Jehovah? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
