Isaiah 64:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ No one turns to you in prayer; no one goes to you for help. You have hidden yourself from us and have abandoned^[a] us because of our sins.

⁸ But you are our father, Lord. We are like clay, and you are like the potter. You created us, ⁹ so do not be too angry with us or hold our sins against us forever. We are your people; be merciful to us.
