Isaiah 64 (WEBP)

[1] Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
[2] as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
[3] When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
[4] For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
[5] You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved?
[6] For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
[7] There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
[8] But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
[9] Don’t be furious, Yahweh. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
[10] Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
[11] Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you is burned with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.
[12] Will you hold yourself back for these things, Yahweh? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?

Isaiah 64 (BYZ)

[2] [64:1] ως κηρος απο πυρος τηκεται και κατακαυσει πυρ τους υπεναντιους και φανερον εσται το ονομα κυριου εν τοις υπεναντιοις απο προσωπου σου εθνη ταραχθησονται
[3] [64:2] οταν ποιης τα ενδοξα τρομος λημψεται απο σου ορη
[4] [64:3] απο του αιωνος ουκ ηκουσαμεν ουδε οι οφθαλμοι ημων ειδον θεον πλην σου και τα εργα σου α ποιησεις τοις υπομενουσιν ελεον
[5] [64:4] συναντησεται γαρ τοις ποιουσιν το δικαιον και των οδων σου μνησθησονται ιδου συ ωργισθης και ημεις ημαρτομεν δια τουτο επλανηθημεν
[6] [64:5] και εγενηθημεν ως ακαθαρτοι παντες ημεις ως ρακος αποκαθημενης πασα η δικαιοσυνη ημων και εξερρυημεν ως φυλλα δια τας ανομιας ημων ουτως ανεμος οισει ημας
[7] [64:6] και ουκ εστιν ο επικαλουμενος το ονομα σου και ο μνησθεις αντιλαβεσθαι σου οτι απεστρεψας το προσωπον σου αφ ημων και παρεδωκας ημας δια τας αμαρτιας ημων
[8] [64:7] και νυν κυριε πατηρ ημων συ ημεις δε πηλος εργον των χειρων σου παντες
[9] [64:8] μη οργιζου ημιν σφοδρα και μη εν καιρω μνησθης αμαρτιων ημων και νυν επιβλεψον οτι λαος σου παντες ημεις
[10] [64:9] πολις του αγιου σου εγενηθη ερημος σιων ως ερημος εγενηθη ιερουσαλημ εις καταραν
[11] [64:10] ο οικος το αγιον ημων και η δοξα ην ηυλογησαν οι πατερες ημων εγενηθη πυρικαυστος και παντα τα ενδοξα συνεπεσεν
[12] [64:11] και επι πασι τουτοις ανεσχου κυριε και εσιωπησας και εταπεινωσας ημας σφοδρα
