Isaiah 64:8 Context
6But we are al as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy ragges, and we all doe fade as a leafe, and our iniquities like the wind haue taken vs away. 7And there is none that calleth vpon thy name, that stirreth vp himselfe to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from vs, and hast consumed vs because of our iniquities. 8But now, O Lord, thou art our father: we are the clay, and thou our potter, and we all are the worke of thine hand. 9¶ Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquitie for euer: behold, see we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 10Thy holy cities are a wildernesse, Zion is a wildernesse, Ierusalem a desolation.
