Isaiah 63:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 Remember that you are our Father. Maybe our ancestor Abraham does not recognize us. Even Israel himself may not recognize us. But you, Lord, are our Father. Since times long ago, your name has been our Redeemer.
17 Lord, why do you cause us to turn away from your ways? You make our minds become hard, so that we do not obey you. Please come back to help us, because we are your servants. We are the tribes that you have chosen for yourself!
18 For only a short time, the holy place belonged to us, your special people. Then our enemies knocked down your temple.

Isaiah 63:16-18
New International Version
16 But you are our Father,(A)
though Abraham does not know us
or Israel acknowledge(B) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
our Redeemer(C) from of old is your name.
17 Why, Lord, do you make us wander(D) from your ways
and harden our hearts(E) so we do not revere(F) you?
Return(G) for the sake of your servants,
the tribes that are your inheritance.(H)
18 For a little while(I) your people possessed your holy place,
but now our enemies have trampled(J) down your sanctuary.(K)
