For all of us have become like one who is (A)unclean,
And all our (B)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us (C)wither like a leaf,
And our (D)iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.
There is (E)no one who calls on Your name,
Who awakens himself to take hold of You,
For You have (F)hidden Your face from us
And have [a]melted us into the hand of our iniquities.

But now, O Yahweh, (G)You are our Father;
We are the (H)clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the (I)work of Your hand.

  1. Isaiah 64:7 DSS and versions delivered

All of us have become like one who is unclean,(A)
    and all our righteous(B) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(C)
    and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(D)
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.

Yet you, Lord, are our Father.(I)
    We are the clay, you are the potter;(J)
    we are all the work of your hand.(K)
