Isaiah 64:1-5

1In Hebrew texts 64:1 is numbered 63:19b, and 64:2-12 is numbered 64:1-11. Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!

2As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you!

3For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.

4Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

5You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. But when we continued to sin against them, you were angry. How then can we be saved?
