Isaiah 63:15-19

NSB(i) 15 Look down and see from heaven, from your holy and beautiful dwelling. Where is your determination (zeal) and might? Where is the longing of your heart and your compassion? Do not hold back. 16 You are our Father. Even though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not pay attention to us, O Jehovah, you are our Father. Your name is our Defender From Everlasting. 17 O Jehovah, why do you let us wander from your ways and become so stubborn that we are unable to respect you? Return for the sake of your servants. They are the tribes that belong to you. 18 Your holy people possessed the land for a little while. Our enemies have trampled on your holy place. 19 We have become like those whom you never ruled, like those who are not called by your name.
