Isaiah 64:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 But we have all been as an unclean thing, and all our [a]righteousness is as filthy cloths, and we all do fade like a leaf, and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon thy Name, neither that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our Father: we are the [b]clay, and thou art our potter, and we all are the work of thine hands.

- Isaiah 64:6 We are justly punished and brought into captivity, because we have provoked thee to anger, and though we would excuse ourselves, yet our righteousness, and best virtues are before thee as vile cloths, or (as some read) like the menstruous clothes of a woman.
- Isaiah 64:8 Albeit, O Lord, by thy just judgment thou mayest utterly destroy us as the potter may his pot, yet we appeal to thy mercies, whereby it hath pleased thee to adopt us to be thy children.
Isaiah 64:6-8
New International Version
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(A)
and all our righteous(B) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(C)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(D)
7 No one(E) calls on your name(F)
or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(G) your face from us
and have given us over(H) to[a] our sins.
