64:8 Isaiah appealed to God as their Father (see note at 63:16). Only rarely and in extreme cases will a human father disown a delinquent child. The prophet also appealed to God as their Creator, using the image of the potter and his clay (see notes at 29:16; 45:9).

64:9 Like Moses, Isaiah asks that God not destroy Israel because of their sin, but instead remember that they are his people.

64:10-12 Isaiah foresaw the time when the Babylonians would destroy the city of Jerusalem and burn the temple in 586 BC. Isaiah appealed to God to turn things around and restore the city and its temple.
