Isaiah 64
English Standard Version
64 (A)Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
(B)that the mountains might quake at your presence—
2 [a] as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
(C)to make your name known to your adversaries,
and that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 (D)When you did awesome things that we did not look for,
you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 (E)From of old no one has heard
or perceived by the ear,
(F)no eye has seen a God besides you,
who acts for those who wait for him.
5 You meet him who joyfully works righteousness,
those who remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?[b]
6 (G)We have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
(H)We all fade like a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 (I)There is no one who calls upon your name,
who rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
and have made us melt in[c] the hand of our iniquities.
8 (J)But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
(K)we are the clay, and you are our potter;
(L)we are all the work of your hand.
9 (M)Be not so terribly angry, O Lord,
(N)and remember not iniquity forever.
Behold, please look, we are all your people.
10 (O)Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 (P)Our holy and beautiful[d] house,
where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12 (Q)Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will you keep silent, and afflict us so terribly?

Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
求主臨格彰顯威榮
64 願你裂天而降,願山在你面前震動, 2 好像火燒乾柴,又像火將水燒開,使你敵人知道你的名,使列國在你面前發顫。 3 你曾行我們不能逆料可畏的事,那時你降臨,山嶺在你面前震動。
自認罪愆
4 從古以來,人未曾聽見、未曾耳聞、未曾眼見在你以外有什麼神為等候他的人行事。 5 你迎接那歡喜行義、記念你道的人。你曾發怒,我們仍犯罪。這景況已久,我們還能得救嗎? 6 我們都像不潔淨的人,所有的義都像汙穢的衣服;我們都像葉子漸漸枯乾,我們的罪孽好像風把我們吹去。 7 並且無人求告你的名,無人奮力抓住你,原來你掩面不顧我們,使我們因罪孽消化。
求主止怒毋念其惡
8 耶和華啊,現在你仍是我們的父!我們是泥,你是窯匠,我們都是你手的工作。 9 耶和華啊,求你不要大發震怒,也不要永遠記念罪孽;求你垂顧我們,我們都是你的百姓。 10 你的聖邑變為曠野,錫安變為曠野,耶路撒冷成為荒場。 11 我們聖潔華美的殿,就是我們列祖讚美你的所在,被火焚燒;我們所羨慕的美地,盡都荒廢。 12 耶和華啊,有這些事,你還忍得住嗎?你仍靜默,使我們深受苦難嗎?
