Yeshayahu- Isaiah - Chapter 64

Chapter 64

1. As fire burns materials that melt, fire causes water to bubble, to make Your name known to Your adversaries; nations would quake from before You.		א.
2. When You performed awesome deeds for which we did not hope; [when] You descended, mountains dripped from before You.		ב.
3. And whereof no one had ever heard, had ever perceived by ear, no eye had ever seen a god besides You perform for him who hoped for him.		ג.
4. You smote him who rejoiced and worked righteousness, those who mentioned You in Your ways; behold, when You became wroth for we had sinned; through them, of old, we would be saved.		ד.
5. And we all have become like one unclean, and like a discarded garment are all our righteous deeds, and we all have withered like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.		ה.
6. And no one calls in Your name, arouses himself to cling to You, when You hid Your countenance from us, and You caused us to wander through our iniquities.		ו.
7. And now, O Lord, You are our father; we are the clay, and You are our potter, and all of us are Your handiwork.		ז.
8. Be not wroth, O Lord, so very greatly, and remember not iniquity forever; please look, all of us are Your people.		ח.
9. Your holy cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem a desolation.		ט.
10. Our sanctuary and our glory, wherein our forefathers praised You is burnt with fire, and all our coveted places have become a waste.		י.
11. Concerning these will You restrain Yourself; will You remain silent and afflict us so very greatly?		יא.
