Isaiah 63:18 BBE

¹⁶  For you are our father, though Abraham has no knowledge of us, and Israel gives no thought to us: you, O Lord, are our father; from the earliest days you have taken up our cause.

¹⁷  O Lord, why do you send us wandering from your ways, making our hearts hard, so that we have no fear of you? Come back, because of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.

¹⁸  Why have evil men gone over your holy place, so that it has been crushed under the feet of our haters?

¹⁹  We have become as those who were never ruled by you, on whom your name was not named.
