No one has ever heard,
no ear perceived, no eye seen,
any God but you.
You work for him who waits for you.
You favored those who were glad to do justice,
those who remembered you in your ways.
When you were angry, we kept sinning;
but if we keep your ancient ways, we will be saved.
All of us are like someone unclean,
all our righteous deeds like menstrual rags;
we wither, all of us, like leaves;
and our misdeeds blow us away like the wind.
No one calls on your name
or bestirs himself to take hold of you,
for you have hidden your face from us
and caused our misdeeds to destroy us.
But now, Adonai, you are our father;
we are the clay, you are our potter;
and we are all the work of your hands.
Do not be so very angry, Adonai!
Don’t remember crime forever.
Look, please, we are all your people. Isaiah 64: 3-8
