ASV_Strong : Isaiah 64
1. Oh[H3863] that thou wouldest rend[H7167] the heavens[H8064], that thou wouldest come down[H3381], that the mountains[H2022] might quake[H2151] at thy presence[H6440],
2. as when fire[H784] kindleth[H6919] the brushwood[H2003], and the fire[H784] causeth the waters[H4325] to boil[H1158]; to make thy name[H8034] known[H3045] to thine adversaries[H6862], that the nations[H1471] may tremble[H7264] at thy presence[H6440]!
3. When thou didst[H6213] terrible things[H3372] which we looked[H6960] not for[H3381], thou camest down, the mountains[H2022] quaked[H2151] at thy presence[H6440].
4. For from of old[H5769] men have not heard[H8085], nor perceived by the ear[H238], neither hath the eye[H5869] seen[H7200] a God[H430] besides[H2108] thee[H6213], who worketh for him that waiteth for him[H2442].
5. Thou meetest[H6293] him that rejoiceth[H7797] and worketh[H6213] righteousness[H6664], those that remember[H2142] thee in thy ways[H1870]: behold[H7107], thou wast wroth, and we sinned[H2398]: in them have we been of long time[H5769]; and shall we be saved[H3467]?
6. For we are all become as one that is unclean[H2931], and all our righteousnesses[H6666] are as a polluted[H5708] garment[H899]: and we all do fade[H5034] as a leaf[H5929]; and our iniquities[H5771], like the wind[H7307], take us away[H5375].
7. And there is none that calleth[H7121] upon thy name[H8034], that stirreth up[H5782] himself to take hold[H2388] of thee[H5641]; for thou hast hid thy face[H6440] from us[H4127], and hast consumed us by means[H3027] of our iniquities[H5771].
8. But now[H3068], O Jehovah, thou art our Father[H1]; we are the clay[H2563], and thou our potter[H3335]; and we all are the work[H4639] of thy hand[H3027].
9. Be not wroth[H7107] very sore[H3966], O Jehovah[H3068], neither remember[H2142] iniquity[H5771] for ever[H5703]: behold[H5027], look, we beseech thee[H5971], we are all thy people.
10. Thy holy[H6944] cities[H5892] are become a wilderness[H4057], Zion[H6726] is become a wilderness[H4057], Jerusalem[H3389] a desolation[H8077].
11. Our holy[H6944] and our beautiful[H8597] house[H1004], where our fathers[H1] praised[H1984] thee[H8316], is burned with fire[H784]; and all our pleasant places[H4261] are laid waste[H2723].
12. Wilt thou refrain[H662] thyself for these things[H3068], O Jehovah? wilt thou hold thy peace[H2814], and afflict[H6031] us very sore[H3966]?
