Isaiah 64:5-7
Living Bible
5 You welcome those who cheerfully do good, who follow godly ways.
But we are not godly; we are constant sinners and have been all our lives. Therefore your wrath is heavy on us. How can such as we be saved? 6 We are all infected and impure with sin. When we put on our prized robes of righteousness, we find they are but filthy rags.[a] Like autumn leaves we fade, wither, and fall. And our sins, like the wind, sweep us away. 7 Yet no one calls upon your name or pleads with you for mercy. Therefore, you have turned away from us and turned us over to our sins.

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.
