# Isaiah 64

[1](#verse-1) Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—

[2](#verse-2) as 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!

[3](#verse-3) When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.

[4](#verse-4) For 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.

[5](#verse-5) You 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?

[6](#verse-6) For 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.

[7](#verse-7) There 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.

[8](#verse-8) But now, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

[9](#verse-9) Don’t be furious, LORD. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.

[10](#verse-10) Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

[11](#verse-11) Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you is burned with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.

[12](#verse-12) Will you hold yourself back for these things, LORD? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
