## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
[[#Verse 01.]] (63:19b) If only you would tear apart the sky and come down!
The mountains would tremble before you!
[[#Verse 02.]] (64:1) As when fire ignites dry wood,
or fire makes water boil,
let your adversaries know who you are,
and may the nations shake at your presence!
[[#Verse 03.]] When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise,
you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
[[#Verse 04.]] Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who intervenes for those who wait for him.
[[#Verse 05.]] 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?
[[#Verse 06.]] 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.
[[#Verse 07.]] 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.
[[#Verse 08.]] Yet, Lord, you are our father.
We are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the product of your labor.
[[#Verse 09.]] 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.
[[#Verse 10.]] Your chosen cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem, a desolate ruin.
[[#Verse 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.
[[#Verse 12.]] In light of all this, how can you still hold back, Lord?
How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?
