Isaiah 63:16-18
The Voice
16 Even though Abraham would not know us and Israel would disown us,
You are our Father!
Nevertheless, from way back,
You, the Eternal, are our Father;
we have called You our Redeemer from long ago.
17 O Eternal One, why do You make us wander off and direct our minds
and harden our hearts, so that we no longer respect You?
Please come back to us, for we are Your servants;
we are the tribes that have been Yours through the generations.
18 For such a short time Your holy people possessed Your holy place in Jerusalem;
then our enemies invaded and trampled all over 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)
