Isaiah 64:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 You (A)meet him who rejoices in (B)doing righteousness,
Who (C)remembers You in Your ways.
Behold, (D)You were angry, for we sinned,
We continued in [a]our sins for a long time;
Yet shall we be saved?
6 For all of us have become like one who is (E)unclean,
And all our (F)righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us (G)wither like a leaf,
And our (H)wrongdoings, like the wind, take us away.
7 There is (I)no one who calls on Your name,
Who stirs himself to take hold of You;
For You have (J)hidden Your face from us
And have [b]surrendered us to the power of our wrongdoings.
8 But now, Lord, (K)You are our Father;
We are the (L)clay, and You our potter,
And all of us are the (M)work of Your hand.
9 Do not be (N)angry beyond measure, Lord,
(O)Nor remember wrongdoing forever.
Behold, please look, all of us are (P)Your people.

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.

Isaiah 64:5-9
King James Version
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, 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.
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
