Isaiah 64 — Context

5

You assist those who delight in doing what is right, who observe your commandments. Look, you were angry because we violated them continually. How then can we be saved?

6

We are all like one who is unclean, all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in your sight. We all wither like a leaf; our sins carry us away like the wind.

7

No one invokes your name, or makes an effort to take hold of you. For you have rejected us and handed us over to our own sins.

8

Yet, LORD, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the product of your labor.

9

LORD, do not be too angry! Do not hold our sins against us continually! Take a good look at your people, at all of us!

10

Your chosen cities have become a wilderness; Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem, a desolate ruin.

11

Our holy temple, our pride and joy, the place where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire; all our prized possessions have been destroyed.
