KJV Isaiah Chapter 64

1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 2 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! 3 When thou didst terrible things |which| we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. 4 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we |are| all thy people. 10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. 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. 12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these |things|, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
