Isa 64
1
If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you,
and they shall melt,
2
as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall
be manifest among the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled,
3
whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.
4
From of old 1 Co 2:9 we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside you, and your works which
you will perform to them that wait for mercy.
5
For these blessings shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember
your ways: behold, you were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,
6
and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we
have Lit. flowed out fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us away.
7
And there is none that calls upon your name, or that remembers to take hold on you:
for you have turned your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our
sins.
8
And now, O Lord, you are our Father, and we are clay, all of us the work of your hands.
9
Be not very wroth with us, and remember not our sins The Gr. en kairw is a Hebraism for ever; but now look on us, for we are
all your people.
10
The city of your holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem
a curse.
11
The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt
with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.
12
And for all these things you, O Lord, has withholden, yourself, and been silent, and
have brought us very low.
