Isaiah:64

* Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down ! That the mountains would quake at Your presence , * as the brushwood fire burns , as the fire causes water to boil ; to make Your name known to Your adversaries , that the nations may tremble at Your presence ! * When You did awesome things which we did not look for , You came down , the mountains shook at Your presence . * For since ancient times they have not heard , nor been obedient . Eye has not seen any god besides You , who works for him who waits for Him . * You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness , those who remember You in Your ways (Behold , You were angry , for we sinned continually ), and we shall be saved . * But we are all like an unclean thing , and all our righteousnesses are like a menstruation cloth . And we all fade as a leaf ; and our iniquities , like the wind , have taken us away . * And there is no one who calls upon Your name , who stirs up himself to take hold of You . For You have hidden Your face from us , and have melted us away because of our iniquities . * But now , O Jehovah , You are our Father ; we are the clay , and You are the One who forms us ; and we all are the work of Your hand . * Do not be greatly furious , O Jehovah , nor remember iniquity forever . Behold , please look . We all are Your people . * Your holy cities are a wilderness ; Zion is a wilderness , Jerusalem is a desolation . * Our holy and beautiful house , where our fathers praised You , is burned up with fire ; and all our pleasant things are laid waste . * Will You restrain Yourself over these things , O Jehovah ? Will You be silent and greatly afflict us ?
