Isaiah 64:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. As when brushwood is set ablaze,or fire makes the water boil!Then your name would be made known to your enemiesand the nations would tremble before you,

2. While you worked awesome deeds we could not hope for,

3. such as had not been heard of from of old.No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen,any God but youworking such deeds for those who wait for him.

4. Would that you might meet us doing right,that we might be mindful of you in our ways!Indeed, you are angry; we have sinned,we have acted wickedly.
