Isaiah 64

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 I wish you would open up your heavens and come down to us! I wish the mountains would tremble when you show your power!

2 Be like a fire that causes twigs to burn. It also makes water boil. So come down and make yourself known to your enemies. Cause the nations to shake with fear when they see your power!

3 Long ago you did some wonderful things we didn't expect. You came down, and the mountains trembled when you showed your power.

4 No one's ears have ever heard of a God like you. No one's eyes have ever seen a God who is greater than you. No God but you acts for the good of those who trust in him.

5 You come to help those who enjoy doing what is right. You help those who thank you for teaching them how to live. But when we continued to disobey you, you became angry with us. So how can we be saved?

6 All of us have become like someone who is "unclean." All of the good things we do are like polluted rags to you. All of us are like leaves that have dried up. Our sins sweep us away like the wind.

7 No one prays to you. No one asks you for help. You have turned your face away from us. You have let us waste away because we have sinned so much.

8 Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay. You are the potter. Your hands made all of us.

9 Don't be so angry with us, Lord. Don't remember our sins anymore. Please show us your favor. All of us belong to you.

10 Your sacred cities have become a desert. Even Zion is a desert. Jerusalem is a dry and empty place.

11 Our people used to praise you in our holy and glorious temple. But now it has been burned down. Everything we treasured has been destroyed.

12 Lord, won't you help us even after everything that's happened? Will you keep silent and punish us more than we can stand?

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 utinam disrumperes caelos et descenderes a facie tua montes defluerent

2 sicut exustio ignis tabescerent aquae arderent igni ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis a facie tua gentes turbarentur

3 cum feceris mirabilia non sustinebimus descendisti et a facie tua montes defluxerunt

4 a saeculo non audierunt neque auribus perceperunt oculus non vidit Deus absque te quae praeparasti expectantibus te

5 occurristi laetanti et facienti iustitiam in viis tuis recordabuntur tui ecce tu iratus es et peccavimus in ipsis fuimus semper et salvabimur

6 et facti sumus ut inmundus omnes nos quasi pannus menstruatae universae iustitiae nostrae et cecidimus quasi folium universi et iniquitates nostrae quasi ventus abstulerunt nos

7 non est qui invocet nomen tuum qui consurgat et teneat te abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis et adlisisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostrae

8 et nunc Domine pater noster es tu nos vero lutum et fictor noster et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos

9 ne irascaris Domine satis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis ecce respice populus tuus omnes nos

10 civitas sancti tui facta est deserta Sion deserta facta est Hierusalem desolata

11 domus sanctificationis nostrae et gloriae nostrae ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri facta est in exustionem ignis et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas

12 numquid super his continebis te Domine tacebis et adfliges nos vehementer
