Isaiah 63:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ Please, look down from the heavens.
    See what is happening now.
Look down at us from your great and holy home in heaven.
    Where is your strong love^[a] for us?
Where is your compassion?
    Why are you hiding your kind love from me?
¹⁶ Look, you are our father!
    Abraham does not know us.
    Israel does not recognize us.
Lord, you are our father!
    You are the one who has always saved us!
¹⁷ Lord, why are you pushing us away from you?
    Why are you making it hard for us to follow you?
Come back to us!
    We are your servants.
Come to us and help us!
    Our tribes belong to you.
