Isaiah 64:4-6
Easy-to-Read Version
4 No one has ever heard of such a God.
No one has ever heard such a story.
No one has ever seen any God except you,
who does such great things for those who trust him.
5 You welcome people who enjoy doing good and who remember you
by living the way you want them to.
But we sinned against you,
and you became angry with us.[a]
But you always saved us!
6 We are all dirty with sin.
Even our good works are not pure.
They are like bloodstained rags.
We are all like dead leaves.
Our sins have carried us away like wind.

Isaiah 64:4-6
New International Version
4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,(A)
who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(B)
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(C)
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry.(D)
How then can we be saved?
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(E)
and all our righteous(F) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(G)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(H)
