Isaiah 64

Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,

utinam disrumperes caelos et descenderes a facie tua montes defluerent

As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

sicut exustio ignis tabescerent aquae arderent igni ut notum fieret nomen tuum inimicis tuis a facie tua gentes turbarentur

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.

cum feceris mirabilia non sustinebimus descendisti et a facie tua montes defluxerunt

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

a saeculo non audierunt neque auribus perceperunt oculus non vidit Deus absque te quae praeparasti expectantibus te

Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.

occurristi laetanti et facienti iustitiam in viis tuis recordabuntur tui ecce tu iratus es et peccavimus in ipsis fuimus semper et salvabimur

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.

et facti sumus ut inmundus omnes nos quasi pannus menstruatae universae iustitiae nostrae et cecidimus quasi folium universi et iniquitates nostrae quasi ventus abstulerunt nos

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.

non est qui invocet nomen tuum qui consurgat et teneat te abscondisti faciem tuam a nobis et adlisisti nos in manu iniquitatis nostrae

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.

et nunc Domine pater noster es tu nos vero lutum et fictor noster et opera manuum tuarum omnes nos

Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

ne irascaris Domine satis et ne ultra memineris iniquitatis ecce respice populus tuus omnes nos

Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

civitas sancti tui facta est deserta Sion deserta facta est Hierusalem desolata

Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

domus sanctificationis nostrae et gloriae nostrae ubi laudaverunt te patres nostri facta est in exustionem ignis et omnia desiderabilia nostra versa sunt in ruinas

Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

numquid super his continebis te Domine tacebis et adfliges nos vehementer
