New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 63:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Why do you make us wander, Lord, from your ways,
and harden our hearts so that we do not fear you?[a]
Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.
18 Why have the wicked invaded your holy place,
why have our enemies trampled your sanctuary?
19 [b]Too long have we been like those you do not rule,
on whom your name is not invoked.
Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
with the mountains quaking before you,(A)
