Isaiah 64:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ You come to help those who enjoy doing what is right.
    You help those who thank you for teaching them how to live.
But when we continued to disobey you,
    you became angry with us.
    So how can we be saved?
⁶ All of us have become like someone who is “unclean.”
    All the good things we do are like dirty rags to you.
All of us are like leaves that have dried up.
    Our sins sweep us away like the wind.
⁷ No one prays to you.
    No one asks you for help.
You have turned your face away from us.
    You have let us feel the effects of our sins.
