Isaiah 64:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Thou didst meet him, [a]that rejoiced in thee, and did justly: they remembered thee in thy [b]ways: behold, thou art angry, for we have sinned: yet in [c]them is continuance, and we [d]shall be saved.
6 But we have all been as an unclean thing, and all our [e]righteousness is as filthy cloths, and we all do fade like a leaf, and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon thy Name, neither that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us because of our iniquities.

Isaiah 64:5-7
New International Version
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,(A)
who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
you were angry.(B)
How then can we be saved?
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,(C)
and all our righteous(D) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,(E)
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.(F)
7 No one(G) calls on your name(H)
or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden(I) your face from us
and have given us over(J) to[a] our sins.
