64Isaiah

1 O that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains might quake at your presence -

 
2 as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil -
to make your name known to your adversaries,
and that the nations might tremble at your presence!

 
3 From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear,
no eye has seen a God besides you,
who works for those who wait for him.

 
4 You meet him that joyfully works righteousness,
those that remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
in our sins we have been a long time,
and shall we be saved?

 
5 You meet him that joyfully works righteousness,
those that remember you in your ways.
Behold, you were angry, and we sinned;
in our sins we have been a long time,
and shall we be saved?

 
6 There is no one that calls upon your name,
that bestirs himself to take hold of you;
for you have hid your face from us,
and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquities.

 
7 There is no one that calls upon your name,
that bestirs himself to take hold of you;
for you have hid your face from us,
and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquities.

 
8 Yet, O Yahweh, you are our father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are the work of your hand.

 
9 Be not exceedingly angry, O Yahweh,
and remember not iniquity for ever.
Behold, consider, we are all your people.

 
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.

 
11 Our holy and beautiful house,
where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.

 
12 Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Yahweh?
Wilt you keep silent, and afflict us sorely?

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
