Chapter 64

1


 

  That thou wouldst rend the heavens, and wouldst come down: the mountains would melt away at thy presence.  

 

 

-

2


 

  They would melt as at the burning of fire, the waters would burn with fire, that thy name might be made known to thy enemies: that the nations might tremble at thy presence.  

 

 

-

3


 

  When thou shalt do wonderful things, we shall not bear them: thou didst come down, and at thy presence the mountains melted away.  

 

 

-

4


 

  From the beginning of the world they have not heard, nor perceived with the ears: the eye hath not seen, O God, besides thee, what things thou hast prepared for them that wait for thee.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Thou hast met him that rejoiceth, and doth justice: in thy ways they shall remember thee: behold thou art angry, and we have sinned: in them we have been always, and we shall be saved.  

 

 

-

6


 

  And we are all become as one unclean, and all our justices as the rag of a menstruous woman: and we have all fallen as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.  

 

 

-

7


 

  There is none that calleth upon thy name: that riseth up, and taketh hold of thee: thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast crushed us in the hand of our iniquity.  

 

 

-

8


 

  And now, O Lord, thou art our father, and we are clay: and thou art our maker, and we all are the works of thy hands.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Be not very angry, O Lord, and remember no longer our iniquity: behold, see we are all thy people.  

 

 

-

10


 

  The city of thy sanctuary is become a desert, Sion is made a desert, Jerusalem is desolate.  

 

 

-

11


 

  The house of our holiness, and of our glory, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt with fire, and all our lovely things are turned into ruins.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Wilt thou refrain thyself, O Lord, upon these things, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us vehemently?
