You came down,
The mountains shook at Your presence.
aMen have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.
Who remembers You in Your ways.
You are indeed angry, for we have sinned—
aIn these ways we continue;
And we need to be saved.
And all aour righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all bfade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
Who stirs himself up to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us,
And have1 consumed us because of our iniquities.
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our apotter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!
| << Isaiah 64:4 | Isaiah 64:6 >> |
