The Book of
Isaiah
Chapter 64
Isaiah 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?
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
