Yshá`Yâhuw (Isaiah) 64

1. (63:19 continued) If only You would rend open the heavens, You would descend, the mountains, they would shake due to Your presence! 2. As a brushwood fire kindles, the fire makes the waters boil, to make Your name known to your enemies, heathen masses would quake due to Your Presence! 3. When You were to perform awesome feats, we were not waiting in hope; You descended, the mountains shook due to Your Presence! 4. Yet since antiquity, they haven't heeded, they hadn't lent an ear! No eye had seen a Power except You, Who works for one adhering to Him. [1 Qorinthíym 2:9] 5. You join the one happy, even one doing righteousness in Your ways, they remember You. Look! You, you have been furious, yet we sinned among them continually though we are to be saved, 6. So all of us became like the unclean, and all of our righteous acts like the garment of menstruations, and all of us drop off like foliage, and our iniquities sweep us away like the wind; 7. And there is no one calling on Your name, who is excited to get a hold of You, because You have concealed Your Face from us, and You let us faint by the power of our errors. 8. So now, O Yâ-hwéh, You are our Father, we are the clay, and You are our Potter, and all of us are the work of Your hand. 9. Do not be furious, O Yâ-hwéh, unto excess, and do not remember iniquity forever! Look, regard now, Your people is all of us: 10. The cities of Your asylum, they have become an uninhabited land, Tsiyyówn is an uninhabited land, Yruwshâláim has become a desolation (340); 11. The house of our purity and our prestige, where our fathers praised You, it is burning by fire, and all of our desires are ruined. 12. Concerning these, will You refrain, O Yâ-hwéh, will You be still, and will You afflict us unto excess?"

(340) Some forget Yshá`Yâhuw was not referring to the destruction of these cities under Bâvél, which happened later under YirmYâ´huw. This is speaking spiritually, just as today Christianity is called the desolation of Tsiyyówn.
