Isaiah 63:16-18
GOD’S WORD Translation
16 You are our Father.
Even though Abraham doesn’t know us
and Israel doesn’t pay attention to us,
O Lord, you are our Father.
Your name is our Defender From Everlasting.
17 O Lord, why do you let us wander from your ways
and become so stubborn that we are unable to fear you?
Return for the sake of your servants.
They are the tribes that belong to you.
18 Your holy people possessed the land for a little while.
Our enemies have trampled on your holy place.
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)
