Bible. Isaiah
23:064:004 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.
23:064:005 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.
23:064:006 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.
23:064:007 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.
23:064:008 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.
23:064:009 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for
ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
23:064:010 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
23:064:011 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised
thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are
laid waste.
23:064:012 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou
hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
23:065:001 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them
that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a
nation that was not called by my name.
23:065:002 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious
people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their
own thoughts;
23:065:003 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face;
that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars
of brick;
23:065:004 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments,
which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in
their vessels;
23:065:005 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am
holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that
burneth all the day.
23:065:006 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but
will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
23:065:007 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,
saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains,
and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure
their former work into their bosom.
