Isaiah 63:18

Read in context

Isaiah 63:16–19 · Berean Standard Bible

16 Yet You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O LORD, are our Father; our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name.

17 Why, O LORD, do You make us stray from Your ways and harden our hearts from fearing You? Return, for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

18 For a short while Your people possessed Your holy place, but our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.

19 We have become like those You never ruled, like those not called by Your name.
