Isaiah 64 If thou openest the heaven, trembling shall seize the mountains before thee, and they shall melt,

Ottley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ If thou openest the heaven, trembling shall seize the mountains before thee, and they shall melt, ² As wax melteth from before the fire; and fire shall burn up thine enemies, and the name of the Lord shall be manifest among thine enemies; from before thy face shall nations be confounded, ³ When thou doest thy glorious deeds; trembling shall seize the mountains before thee. ⁴ From everlasting have we not heard, nor have our eyes seen [[any God except thee]], and thy works which thou wilt do to them that wait for mercy. ⁵ For he will meet them that do righteousness, and they shall remember thy ways. Behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: therefore we strayed, ⁶ And we all became as unclean, all our righteousness as filthy rags; and we fell away like leaves because of our transgressions; so shall a wind bear us away. ⁷ And there is none that calleth on thy name, or remembereth to lay hold upon thee; for thou didst turn thy face away from us, and didst deliver us over because of our transgressions. ⁸ And now, O Lord, thou art our father; and we are clay, all (are) the works of thy hands. ⁹ Be not wroth with us exceedingly, and remember not all our sins betimes; and now look upon us, for we are all thy people. ¹⁰ Thy city of the Holy One, Zion, is become desert; Jerusalem is become as a desert: turned to a curse ¹¹ Is the house, our holy place: and the glory which our fathers blessed is burnt with fire, and all (our) glorious things are fallen together. ¹² And for all this thou didst refrain, O Lord, and heldest thy peace, and didst humble us exceedingly.
