Isaiah 64:2-4
New English Translation
2 (64:1) As when fire ignites dry wood,
or fire makes water boil,
let your adversaries know who you are,[a]
and may the nations shake at your presence!
3 When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise,[b]
you came down, and the mountains trembled[c] before you.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived,[d]
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who intervenes for those who wait for him.

- Isaiah 64:3 tn Heb “[for which] we were not waiting.”
- Isaiah 64:3 tn See the note at v. 1.
- Isaiah 64:4 tn Heb “from ancient times they have not heard, they have not listened.”
