Isaiah 64:6-8
International Standard Version
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.
God, our Father, will Act
8 But as for you,[e] O Lord, you are our Father;
and[f] we are clay,[g]
and you are our potter;
we are all the work of your hands.[h]
