Isaiah 63:16-17
New International Version
16 But you are our Father,(A)
though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge(B) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
our Redeemer(C) from of old is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander(D) from your ways
and harden our hearts(E) so we do not revere(F) you?
Return(G) for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your inheritance.(H)
Isaiah 63:19
New International Version

Isaiah 64:2-7
New International Version
2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(A) known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake(B) before you!
3 For when you did awesome(C) things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled(D) before you.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(E)
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(F)
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(G)
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry.(H)
How then can we be saved?
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(I)
and all our righteous(J) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(K)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(L)
7 No one(M) calls on your name(N)
or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(O) your face from us
and have given us over(P) to[a] our sins.
