1 ¡OH si rompieses los cielos, [y] descendieras, [y] á tu presencia se escurriesen los montes, 2 Como fuego abrasador de fundiciones, fuego que hace hervir las aguas, para que hicieras notorio tu nombre á tus enemigos, y las gentes temblasen á tu presencia! 3 Cuando, haciendo terriblezas cuales nunca esperábamos, descendiste, fluyeron los montes delante de ti. 4 Ni nunca oyeron, ni oídos percibieron, ni ojo ha visto Dios fuera de ti, que hiciese por el que en él espera. 5 Saliste al encuentro al que con alegría obraba justicia, á los que se acordaban de ti en tus caminos: he aquí, tú te enojaste porque pecamos; en esos hay perpetuidad, y seremos salvos. 6 Si bien todos nosotros somos como suciedad, y todas nuestras justicias como trapo de inmundicia; y caímos todos nosotros como la hoja, y nuestras maldades nos llevaron como viento. 7 Y nadie hay que invoque tu nombre, que se despierte para tenerte; por lo cual escondiste de nosotros tu rostro, y nos dejaste marchitar en poder de nuestras maldades. 8 Ahora pues, Jehová, tú [eres] nuestro padre; nosotros lodo, y tú el que nos formaste; así que obra de tus manos, todos nosotros. 9 No te aires, oh Jehová, sobremanera, ni tengas perpetua memoria de la iniquidad: he aquí mira ahora, pueblo tuyo [somos] todos nosotros. 10 Tus santas ciudades están desiertas, Sión es un desierto, Jerusalem una soledad. 11 La casa de nuestro santuario y de nuestra gloria, en la cual te alabaron nuestros padres, fué consumida al fuego; y todas nuestras cosas preciosas han sido destruídas. 12 ¿Te estarás quieto, oh Jehová, sobre estas cosas? ¿callarás, y nos afligirás sobremanera?
Isaiah 64 Reina-Valera 1909

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… of our sanctuary has become a curse, and the glory which our fathers blessed is burned up with fire, and all its glorious things are laid waste: and Thou refrainest Thyself at these things, and hast held Thy peace, and hast humbled us very sore." And ye are convinced that Jerusalem has been laid waste, as was predicted.
… the resurrection of the just, and fulfils the promises for the kingdom of His Son; subsequently bestowing in a paternal manner those things which neither the eye has seen, nor the ear has heard, nor has [thought concerning them] arisen within the heart of man, For there is the one Son, who accomplished His Father's will; and one human race …
… things which are before," we were seeking between ourselves in the presence of the Truth, which Thou art, of what nature the eternal life of the saints would be, which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man. But yet we opened wide the mouth of our heart, after those supernal streams of …

For what we shall yet know, neither eye hath seen, nor ear heard, nor hath it entered the heart of man. For what is faith, but believing what you see not?
