Isaiah 64:4-9

View Full Chapter

4Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

5You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. But when we continued to sin against them, you were angry. How then can we be saved?

6All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

7No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and have given us over to Septuagint, Syriac and Targum; Hebrew have made us melt because of our sins.

8Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

9Do not be angry beyond measure, LORD ; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people.
