Isaiah 64:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 Be a spark that starts a fire
causing water to boil.[a]
Then your enemies will know
who you are;
all nations will tremble
because you are nearby.
3 Your fearsome deeds
have completely amazed us;
even the mountains shake
when you come down.
4 (A) You are the only God
ever seen or heard of
who works miracles
for his followers.

2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name(A) known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake(B) before you!
3 For when you did awesome(C) things that we did not expect,
you came down, and the mountains trembled(D) before you.

no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(E)
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(F)
