Isaiah 64:7

Compare all

5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness,
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.

6 But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all ^aour righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all ^bfade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.

7 And there is no one who calls on Your name,
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.

8 But now, O Lord,
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our ^apotter;
And all we are the work of Your hand.

9 Do not be furious, O Lord,
Nor remember iniquity forever;
Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!

10 Your holy cities are a wilderness,
Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
