Isaiah 64

Treated in 26 passages across the library.

  • 64:6 We have all turned into something unclean; our righteous deeds, every one, are like a cloth soiled by a woman's monthly blood. We fade like leaves, all of us, and our guilt carries us off like the wind. 16
  • 64:7 Not one of us calls on your name; no one stirs to hold on to you. For you have hidden your face from us and let us melt away in the grip of our guilt. 4
  • 64:4 Never since time began has anyone heard of it or taken it in; no eye has ever seen a God other than you, one who works for those who wait for him. 3
  • 64:8 But now, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you the potter who shaped us; every one of us is what your hand has made. 3
  • 64:5 You go out to meet the one who delights in doing righteousness, those who keep you in mind as they walk in your ways. But you were angry, and we sinned. We have stayed in our sins so long; can we be saved? 2
  • 64:1 For a long time now we have been like a people never under your rule, a people that never bore your name. If only you would split the heavens apart and come down, and the mountains would shake as you came near! 1
  • 64:9 LORD, do not let your anger go too far, and do not keep our guilt in mind forever. Look at us, we beg you: all of us are your people. 1
