Isaiah 64:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ You help all who gladly obey
and do what you want,
    but sin makes you angry.
Only by your help
    can we ever be saved.^[a]
6 We are unfit to worship you;
each of our good deeds
    is merely a filthy rag.
We dry up like leaves;
our sins are storm winds
    sweeping us away.
⁷ No one worships in your name
    or remains faithful.
You have turned your back on us
and let our sins melt us away.^[b]
