Isaiah 63:16-18
International Children’s Bible
16 You are our father.
Abraham doesn’t know we are his children.
Israel doesn’t know who we are.
Lord, you are our father.
You are called “the one who has always saved us.”
17 Lord, why are you making us wander from your ways?
Why do you make us stubborn so that we don’t honor you?
For our sake come back to us.
We are your servants, and we belong to you.
18 Your people had your Temple for a while.
But now our enemies have walked on your holy place and crushed it.

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)
