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. |

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? |
