jps - Isaiah:63:7-64:12

jps@Isaiah:63:7 @ I will make mention of the mercies of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us; and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He hath bestowed on them according to His compassions, and according to the multitude of His mercies.

jps@Isaiah:63:8 @ For He said: 'Surely, they are My people, children that will not deal falsely'; so He was their Saviour.

jps@Isaiah:63:9 @ In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

jps@Isaiah:63:10 @ But they rebelled, and grieved His holy spirit; therefore He was turned to be their enemy, Himself fought against them.

jps@Isaiah:63:11 @ Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses: 'Where is He that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of His flock? Where is He that put His holy spirit in the midst of them?

jps@Isaiah:63:12 @ That caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? That divided the water before them, to make Himself an everlasting name?

jps@Isaiah:63:13 @ That led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, without stumbling?

jps@Isaiah:63:14 @ As the cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of the LORD caused them to rest; so didst Thou lead Thy people, to make Thyself a glorious name.'

jps@Isaiah:63:15 @ Look down from heaven, and see, even from Thy holy and glorious habitation; Where is Thy zeal and Thy mighty acts, the yearning of Thy heart and Thy compassions, now restrained toward me?

jps@Isaiah:63:16 @ For Thou art our Father; for Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us; Thou, O LORD, art our Father, our Redeemer from everlasting is Thy name.

jps@Isaiah:63:17 @ O LORD, why dost Thou make us to err from Thy ways, and hardenest our heart from Thy fear? Return for Thy servants' sake, the tribes of Thine inheritance.

jps@Isaiah:63:18 @ Thy holy people they have well nigh driven out, our adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary.

jps@Isaiah:63:19 @ We are become as they over whom Thou never borest rule, as they that were not called by Thy name.

jps@Isaiah:64:1 @ Oh, that Thou wouldest rend the heavens, that Thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at Thy presence,

jps@Isaiah:64:2 @ As when fire kindleth the brush-wood, and the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make Thy name known to Thine adversaries, that the nations might tremble at Thy presence,

jps@Isaiah:64:3 @ When Thou didst tremendous things which we looked not for--Oh that Thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at Thy presence!--

jps@Isaiah:64:4 @ And whereof from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God beside Thee, who worketh for him that waiteth for Him.

jps@Isaiah:64:5 @ Thou didst take away him that joyfully worked righteousness, those that remembered Thee in Thy ways--behold, Thou wast wroth, and we sinned--upon them have we stayed of old, that we might be saved.

jps@Isaiah:64:6 @ And 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.

jps@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.

jps@Isaiah:64:8 @ But now, O LORD, Thou art our Father; we are the clay, and Thou our potter, and we all are the work of Thy hand.

jps@Isaiah:64:9 @ Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever; behold, look, we beseech Thee, we are all Thy people.

jps@Isaiah:64:10 @ Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

jps@Isaiah:64:11 @ Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised Thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

jps@Isaiah:64:12 @ Wilt Thou refrain Thyself for these things, O LORD? Wilt Thou hold Thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
