Isaiah:64

* O that you would split open the heavens and come down ! The mountains would quake at your presence . * Be like the fire that kindles brushwood and makes water boil . Come down to make your name known to your enemies . The nations may tremble in your presence . * When you did awe-inspiring things that we did not expect , you came down and the mountains quaked at your presence . * No one has ever heard and no one has paid attention . No one has perceived any god except you . You help those who wait for you . * You greeted the one who gladly does right and remembers your ways . You were angry because we sinned . We continued to sin for a long time . Can we still be saved ? * All of us have become unclean , and all our righteous acts are like permanently stained rags . All of us wither like leaves , and our sins carry us away like the wind . * No one calls on your name or tries to hold on to you . You have hidden your face from us . You allowed us be ruined by our sins . * But now , Jehovah , you are our Father . We are the clay , and you are our potter . We are the work of your hands . * Do not be too angry , Jehovah . Do not remember our sin forever . Now look , we are all your people . * Your holy cities have become a wilderness . Zion has become a desert . Jerusalem is a wasteland . * Our holy and beautiful Temple where our ancestors praised you has been burned to the ground . All that we valued has been ruined . * Despite these things , Jehovah , will you restrain yourself ? Will you be silent and make us suffer beyond measure ?
