Isaiah 64:6-12

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

6For all of us have become like one who is unclean,

And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;

And all of us wither like a leaf,

And our wrongdoings, like the wind, take us away.

7There is no one who calls on Your name,

Who stirs himself to take hold of You;

For You have hidden Your face from us

And have surrendered us to the power of our wrongdoings.

8But now, Lord, You are our Father;

We are the clay, and You our potter,

And all of us are the work of Your hand.

9Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord,

Nor remember wrongdoing forever.

Behold, please look, all of us are Your people.

10Your holy cities have become a wilderness,

Zion has become a wilderness,

Jerusalem a desolation.

11Our holy and beautiful house,

Where our fathers praised You,

Has been burned by fire;

And all our precious things have become a ruin.

12Will You restrain Yourself at these things, Lord?

Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
