Isaiah 64:5-7
International Standard Version
5 You come to the aid of those who gladly do what’s right,
To those who remember you in your ways.
See, you were angry,
and we sinned against them for a long time,
but we will be saved.
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and[a] all our righteous acts are like a filthy rag;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind, our iniquities[b] sweep us away.
7 There is no one who calls on your name
or rouses himself to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
and have given us[c] into the control[d] of our iniquity.

New International Version
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(A)
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry.(B)
How then can we be saved?
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(C)
and all our righteous(D) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(E)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(F)
7 No one(G) calls on your name(H)
or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(I) your face from us
and have given us over(J) to[a] our sins.
