Isaiah 63:18

18 For a while your holy people had it good, but now our enemies have wrecked your holy place.

Isaiah 63:18 In-Context

16 You are our Father. Abraham and Israel are long dead. They wouldn't know us from Adam. But you're our living Father, our Redeemer, famous from eternity!
17 Why, God, did you make us wander from your ways? Why did you make us cold and stubborn so that we no longer worshiped you in awe? Turn back for the sake of your servants. You own us! We belong to you!
18 For a while your holy people had it good, but now our enemies have wrecked your holy place.
19 For a long time now, you've paid no attention to us. It's like you never knew us.
