Isaiah 64:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible
1 If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
2 as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!
3 When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.
4 From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
5 You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
