New King James Version, 1982 - Isaiah 64 (NKJV Bible)

Isaiah Chapter 64 (NKJV Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your [1†]presence—

² As fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil— To make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Your presence!

³ When [2†]You did awesome things for which we did not look, You came down, The mountains shook at Your presence.

⁴ For since the beginning of the world [3†]Men 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.

⁵ You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways. You are indeed angry, for we have sinned— [4†]In these ways we continue; And we need to be saved.

⁶ But we are all like an unclean thing, And all [5†]our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all [6†]fade 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 have consumed us because of our iniquities.

⁸ But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our [7†]potter; 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.

¹¹ Our holy and beautiful temple, Where our fathers praised You, Is burned up with fire; And all [8†]our pleasant things are laid waste.

¹² [9†]Will You restrain Yourself because of these things, O LORD? [10†]Will You hold Your peace, and afflict us very severely?
