Isaiah 63:15-19

Leeser(i) 15 Look down from heaven, and behold, from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mights, the yearning of thy bowels and of thy mercy which are now restrained from me? 16 For thou art our father; for Abraham knoweth nothing of us, and Israel recogniseth us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name. 17 Why hast thou let us go astray, O Lord, from thy ways, suffered our heart to be hardened against thy fear? Return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy heritage. 18 But a brief space were thy holy people in possession, when our adversaries trod down thy sanctuary. 19 We are become as though we are those over whom thou hast never ruled, over whom thy name hath not been called.
