Isaiah 64:6-12
English Standard Version
6 (A)We have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
(B)We all fade like a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 (C)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[a] the hand of our iniquities.
8 (D)But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
(E)we are the clay, and you are our potter;
(F)we are all the work of your hand.
9 (G)Be not so terribly angry, O Lord,
(H)and remember not iniquity forever.
Behold, please look, we are all your people.
10 (I)Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
11 (J)Our holy and beautiful[b] house,
where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12 (K)Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will you keep silent, and afflict us so terribly?
