“But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.”

Isaiah 64:8

Save as image

Study note

Isaiah 63 and 64 contain a long, heartfelt prayer of God's people after judgment, confessing their sin and pleading for God to act. They admit that even their righteous deeds are like stained cloth.
