Isaiah 64:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 For since the beginning of the world, they have not [a]heard nor understood with the ear, neither hath the eye seen another God beside thee, which doeth so to him that waiteth for him.
5 Thou didst meet him, [b]that rejoiced in thee, and did justly: they remembered thee in thy [c]ways: behold, thou art angry, for we have sinned: yet in [d]them is continuance, and we [e]shall be saved.
6 But we have all been as an unclean thing, and all our [f]righteousness is as filthy cloths, and we all do fade like a leaf, and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away.
