Isaiah 63:14-19 The Message (MSG)

That’s how you led your people! That’s how you became so famous! Look down from heaven, look at us! Look out the window of your holy and magnificent house! Whatever happened to your passion, your famous mighty acts, Your heartfelt pity, your compassion? Why are you holding back? You are our Father. Abraham and Israel are long dead. They wouldn’t know us from Adam. But you’re our living Father, our Redeemer, famous from eternity! Why, GOD, did you make us wander from your ways? Why did you make us cold and stubborn so that we no longer worshiped you in awe? Turn back for the sake of your servants. You own us! We belong to you! For a while your holy people had it good, but now our enemies have wrecked your holy place. For a long time now, you’ve paid no attention to us. It’s like you never knew us.

Isaiah 63:16-17 King James Version (KJV)

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.

Isaiah 63:16-17 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

For You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us And Israel does not recognize us. You, O LORD, are our Father, Our Redeemer from of old is Your name. Why, O LORD, do You cause us to stray from Your ways And harden our heart from fearing You? Return for the sake of Your servants, the tribes of Your heritage.

Isaiah 63:16-17 New Century Version (NCV)

You are our father. Abraham doesn’t know we are his children, and Israel doesn’t recognize us. LORD, you are our father. You are called “the one who has always saved us.” LORD, why are you making us wander from your ways? Why do you make us stubborn so that we don’t honor you? For our sake come back to us, your servants, who belong to you.

Isaiah 63:16-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

For thou art our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name. O Jehovah, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.

Isaiah 63:16-17 New International Version (Anglicised) (NIVUK)

But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.

For [most certainly] You are our Father, even though Abraham [our ancestor] does not know us And Israel does not acknowledge us.

Return for Your servants’ sake, the tribes of Your heritage.

Surely you are still our Father! Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us, LORD, you would still be our Father. You are our Redeemer from ages past.

Return and help us, for we are your servants, the tribes that are your special possession.

For you are our loving Father. Even if our ancestors, Abraham and Jacob, don’t acknowledge us, you, O  YAHWEH, are our loving Father! From ancient times your name is our Redeemer.

Please come back to us, for the sake of those who serve you, for the sake of your people, the tribes that are your inheritance.
