Isaiah 64:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 We are unfit to worship you;
each of our good deeds
is merely a filthy rag.
We dry up like leaves;
our sins are storm winds
sweeping us away.
7 No one worships in your name
or remains faithful.
You have turned your back on us
and let our sins melt us away.[a]
8 You, Lord, are our Father.
We are nothing but clay,
but you are the potter
who molded us.

and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(D)
7 No one(E) calls on your name(F)
or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(G) your face from us
and have given us over(H) to[a] our sins.

6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
