Isaiah 63:16-18

World English Bible

¹⁶ For you are our Father,
    though Abraham doesn’t know us,
    and Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, Yahweh, are our Father.
    Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
¹⁷ O Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways,
    and harden our heart from your fear?
Return for your servants’ sake,
    the tribes of your inheritance.
¹⁸ Your holy people possessed it but a little while.
    Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
