Isaiah's prayer continues

64 Please Lord, break open the skies
    and come down to help us!
That would make the mountains shake!
You would come like a fire that burns up wood,
    and it causes water to boil.
The nations would shake with fear.
    Your enemies would know why your name is so great.

64 [a]Oh, that you would rend the heavens(A) and come down,(B)
    that the mountains(C) would tremble before you!
As when fire sets twigs ablaze
    and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(D) known to your enemies
    and cause the nations to quake(E) before you!
