1Would that you would tear the heavens and come down;[#Isaiah 64:1 in the English Bible begins here. In the Hebrew Bible, 63:19 continues]
2as fire kindles brushwood,[#Isaiah 64:2–12 in the English Bible is 64:1–11 in the Hebrew Bible]
to make your name known to your adversaries,
3When you did terrible deeds which we did not expect, you came down;[#Literally “await”]
4And since ancient times they have not heard,
no eye has seen a God except you;
5You meet with the one who rejoices,
In your ways they remember you.
6And we all have become like the unclean,
And we all wither like a leaf,
7And there is no one who calls on your name,
for you have hidden your face from us,
8Yet now Yahweh, you are our father;
9You must not be exceedingly angry, Yahweh,
Look! Behold, now! We all are your people!
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness;[#Literally “The cities of your holiness”]
11Our holy and beautiful temple, where our ancestors praised you has been burned by fire,[#Literally “the house of our holiness and our beauty”; #Or “fathers”; #Literally “been for burning”]
12Will you control yourself because of these, Yahweh?
