Isaiah 64

¹“Yahweh, I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down,

²Be like a fire that burns twigs

³You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do;

⁴Since ◄long ago/the world began►, no one [SYN] has ever seen or heard about a God like you;

⁵You help those who joyfully do what is right,

⁶We have all become people who are not fit to worship you;

⁷None of our people worships you,

⁸Yahweh, you are our father.

⁹Yahweh, do not continue to be angry with us;

¹⁰All of your towns in Judah have become like [MET] deserts;

¹¹Your glorious temple on Zion Hill, where our ancestors worshiped you,

¹²Yahweh, you see all those things, so we worry that you will refrain from helping us,
