# Isaiah 64 (New King James Version)
|
|
A Prayer for Help
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 64
|
|
###### 1 Oh, that You would rend the heavens!
|
|
That You would come down!
|
|
That the mountains might shake at Your presence--
|
|
|
|
###### 2 As fire burns brushwood,
|
|
As fire causes water to boil--
|
|
To make Your name known to Your adversaries,
|
|
_That_ the nations may tremble at Your presence!
|
|
|
|
###### 3 When You did awesome things _for which_ we did not look,
|
|
You came down,
|
|
The mountains shook at Your presence.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 For since the beginning of the world
|
|
_Men_ have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
|
|
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
|
|
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
|
|
_Who_ remembers You in Your ways.
|
|
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned--
|
|
In these ways we continue;
|
|
And we need to be saved.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 But we are all like an unclean _thing,_
|
|
And all our righteousnesses _are_ like filthy rags;
|
|
We all fade as a leaf,
|
|
And our iniquities, like the wind,
|
|
Have taken us away.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 And _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 because of our iniquities.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 But now, O Lord,
|
|
You _are_ our Father;
|
|
We _are_ the clay, and You our potter;
|
|
And all we _are_ the work of Your hand.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Do not be furious, O Lord,
|
|
Nor remember iniquity forever;
|
|
Indeed, please look--we all _are_ Your people!
|
|
|
|
###### 10 Your holy cities are a wilderness,
|
|
Zion is a wilderness,
|
|
Jerusalem a desolation.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Our holy and beautiful temple,
|
|
Where our fathers praised You,
|
|
Is burned up with fire;
|
|
And all our pleasant things are laid waste.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Will You restrain Yourself because of these _things,_ O Lord?
|
|
Will You hold Your peace, and afflict us very severely?
|
|
