LEB ISA Chapter 64

to make your name known to your adversaries,
- that the nations might tremble from your[fn]
- 3 which we did not[fn] you came down; the mountains quaked because of your[fn]
- 4 times they have not heard, have not listened,
no eye has seen a God except you;
- he[fn] for the one who waits for him.
- 5  one who does righteousness.
In your ways they remember you.
- Look! You were angry and we sinned against them in ancient times and we were saved.
- 6  and all our deeds of justice like a menstrual cloth,
And we all wither like a leaf,
- and our iniquities take us away like the wind.
- 7  who pulls himself up to keep hold of you,
for you have hidden your face from us,[fn]
- and melted us into the hand of our iniquity.
- 8 are our father; we are the clay and you are our[fn]
- and we all are the work of your hand.
- 9  and you must not remember iniquity forever!

Look! Behold, now! We all are your people!

10 [fn] have become a wilderness; Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 [fn] where our ancestors[fn] praised you has [fn] by fire, and all our precious objects have become ruins.[fn]

Will you control yourself because of these, Yahweh?
- Will you be silent?
  - And will you oppress us exceedingly?
