Isaiah 64:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 As the melting fire burned, as the fire caused [a]the waters to boil, (that thou mightest declare thy Name to thine adversaries) the people did tremble at thy presence.
3 When thou didst terrible things, which we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains melted at thy presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world, they have not [b]heard nor understood with the ear, neither hath the eye seen another God beside thee, which doeth so to him that waiteth for him.

Isaiah 64:2-4
New International Version
2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(A) known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake(B) before you!
3 For when you did awesome(C) things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled(D) before you.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(E)
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(F)
