Isaiah 63:18 Context
16Doubtlesse thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of vs, and Israel acknowledge vs not: thou, O Lord art our Father, our Redeemer, thy Name is from euerlasting. 17¶ O Lord, why hast thou made vs to erre from thy wayes? and hardened our heart from thy feare? Returne for thy seruants sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 18The people of thy holinesse haue possessed it but a little while: our aduersaries haue troden downe thy Sanctuarie. 19Wee are thine, thou neuer barest rule ouer them, they were not called by thy Name.
