Isaiah 63:15-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ Gaze down from the heavens and see,
from your holy and beautiful dwelling place.
Where is your zeal and your might?
The feelings of your heart and your compassion
    are withheld from me.

¹⁶ But you are our Father,
though Abraham does not know us,
though Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, the Lord, are our Father.
Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
¹⁷ Why do you cause us to wander from your ways, Lord?
Why do you harden our heart so that we do not fear you?
Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your heritage.
¹⁸ For a short time your holy people possessed the land.
Now our adversaries have trampled your sanctuary.
¹⁹ We have been your people from ancient times,
but you have not ruled over the other nations.
They were not called by your name.^[a]
