Isaiah 64:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ You help people who are happy when they do what is right.
    People like that obey your commands.
But we continued to do wrong things,
    even when you were angry with us.
We have done bad things for a long time,
    so will you ever come to save us?
⁶ Our sins have made us all like unclean people,
    who cannot worship you.
Even the good things that we try to do
    are like dirty bits of cloth.
Our sins will blow us all away,
    as the wind blows away dead leaves.
⁷ Nobody prays in your name,
    or calls out to you to help them.
It seems that you have turned away from us.
    You have left us for our sins to rule us.
