Isaiah 63:15-19

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ Look down from heaven and see^(A)
from your lofty home—holy and beautiful.
Where is your zeal and your might?
Your yearning^[a] and your compassion
are withheld from me.
¹⁶ Yet you are our Father,
even though Abraham does not know us
and Israel doesn’t recognize us.
You, Lord, are our Father;
your name is Our Redeemer^(B)
from Ancient Times.
¹⁷ Why, Lord, do you make us stray from your ways?
You harden our hearts so we do not fear^[b] you.^(C)
Return, because of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.
¹⁸ Your holy people had a possession^[c]
for a little while,
but our enemies have trampled down
your sanctuary.^(D)
19 We have become like those you never ruled,
like those who did not bear your name.^(E)
