Isaiah 64:4-6
Common English Bible
4 From ancient times,
no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any god but you
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him![a]
5 You look after those who gladly do right;
they will praise you for your ways.[b]
But you were angry when we sinned;
you hid yourself when we did wrong.[c]
6 We have all become like the unclean;
all our righteous deeds are like a menstrual rag.
All of us wither like a leaf;
our sins, like the wind, carry us away.

Isaiah 64:4-6
New International Version
4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(A)
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(B)
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(C)
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry.(D)
How then can we be saved?
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(E)
and all our righteous(F) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(G)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(H)
