23_ISA_64_01 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens , that thou wouldest come down , that the mountains might flow down at thy presence .
23_ISA_64_02 as [ when ] the melting fire burneth , the fire causeth the waters to boil , to make thy name known to thine adversaries , [ that ] the nations may tremble at thy presence !
23_ISA_64_03 when thou didst terrible things [ which ] we looked not for , thou camest down , the mountains flowed down at thy presence .
23_ISA_64_04 for since the beginning of the world [ men ] have not heard , nor perceived by the ear , neither hath the eye seen , O God , beside thee , [ what ] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him .
23_ISA_64_05 thou meetest him that rejoiceth And worketh righteousness , [ those that ] Remember thee in thy ways : behold , thou art wroth ; for we have sinned : in those Is continuance , And we shall be saved .
23_ISA_64_06 but we are all as an unclean [ thing ] , And all our righteousnesses [ are ] as filthy rags ; And we all do fade as A leaf ; And our iniquities , like the wind , have taken us away .
23_ISA_64_07 And [ there Is ] none that calleth upon thy name , that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee : for thou hast hid thy face from us , And hast consumed us , because of our iniquities .
23_ISA_64_08 but now , O LORD , thou [ art ] our Father ; we [ are ] the clay , And thou our potter ; And we all [ are ] the work of thy hand .
23_ISA_64_09 be not wroth very sore , O LORD , neither Remember iniquity for ever : behold , see , we beseech thee , we [ are ] all thy people .
23_ISA_64_10 thy holy cities are A wilderness , Zion Is A wilderness , Jerusalem A desolation .
23_ISA_64_11 our holy And our beautiful house , where our fathers praised thee , Is burned up with fire : And all our pleasant things are laid waste .
23_ISA_64_12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for These [ things ] , O LORD ? Wilt thou hold thy peace , And afflict us very sore ?
