← Isaiah 63:16	Isaiah 63:17 (KJV)	Isaiah 63:18 →
Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father, our redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting.	O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, [and] hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.	The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
