  • Habakkuk 1:5 (thematic): Calls the audience to 'look among the nations... be astounded' at what God will do—echoes Isaiah's stress on God's acts that surpass human expectation and perception.

Parallels

  • Job 14:4 (verbal): Both speak to human impurity—'who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?' echoes Isaiah's verdict that all are unclean and their 'righteousnesses' are not truly pure.
  • Zechariah 3:3-4 (verbal): Uses the image of 'filthy garments' to describe sinful condition; Zechariah removes filthy clothes from Joshua as a cleansing/forgiveness motif parallel to Isaiah's 'righteous deeds like a polluted garment.'
  • Romans 3:10-12 (thematic): Paul's catalogue of universal sinfulness ('none righteous… no one does good') parallels Isaiah's assertion that human righteousness is worthless and people are morally corrupt.
  • Romans 3:23 (thematic): 'All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' summarizes the same theme of universal moral failure that Isaiah expresses in this verse.
  • Titus 3:5 (thematic): Contrasts human 'deeds of righteousness' with God's saving mercy—echoes Isaiah's point that human righteousness cannot merit acceptance, so salvation depends on God's action rather than our 'righteous' works.

  • Romans 9:20-21 (quotation): Paul adapts the potter/clay argument ('Who are you to talk back to the one who made you? Does the clay say to the potter...') to defend divine sovereignty—an explicit New Testament reuse of the OT motif reflected in Isa.64:7.
  • Job 10:8-9 (thematic): Job describes God’s forming activity—'Your hands fashioned me and made me'—which thematically parallels Isaiah’s acknowledgement that humans are formed by God (clay/potter motif emphasizing divine craftsmanship).

  • Will you restrain yourself for these things, O LORD? Will you be silent and afflict us very sore?
  • Will you hold yourself back because of these things, O LORD? Will you be silent and afflict us for so long?

I will recount the LORD’s mercies—declare the praises of the LORD—for all that the LORD has done for us, and the abundant good to the house of Israel; he treated them according to his compassions and the multitude of his steadfast love. And he said, “Surely they are my people—children who will not deal falsely”; and he became their Savior.

In all their distress he was distressed; the Angel of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he bore them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled and provoked his Holy Spirit, and he turned to be their enemy—he fought against them.

Then he remembered the days of old—Moses and his company: Where is he who led them, who caused the shepherd of his flock to pass on? Where is he who set his Holy Spirit among them?

He who led them by the right hand of Moses, by the arm of his glory—who cleft the waters before them to make for himself an everlasting name.

He went before them through the deep—like horses in the wilderness—they did not stumble.

Like cattle going down into a valley, so the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. Thus you led your people, to make for yourself a glorious name.

Look down from heaven and see—have your holy and glorious ones been trampled? Where is your zeal and your might? The abundance of your tenderness and compassion—are they withheld from me?

For you are our Father; though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us, you, O LORD, are our Father—our Redeemer is your name from of old.

Why do you make us stray, O LORD, from your ways? Why do you harden our hearts so that we fear you no more? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.

For a little while your people possessed your holy place; our adversaries have trampled down your sanctuary.

Were you not their ruler from of old? Was your name not called upon them? Would you not have torn open the heavens and come down? The mountains would melt before you.

O that you would rend the heavens and come down; that the mountains might quake at your presence!

When you did awesome things we did not look for, you came down; the mountains melted at your presence.

From of old no ear has heard, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts for the one who waits for him.

You meet the one who gladly does right and who remembers you in your ways. Behold—you were angry, and we sinned; in our sin we have long endured—will salvation come?

We have all become like one unclean thing, and all our righteous deeds are like filthy rags; we all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, carry us away.

There is no one calling on your name who stirs himself to take hold of you, for you have hidden your face from us and have consumed us because of our iniquities.

Yet now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay and you the potter—we are all the work of your hand.

Do not be exceedingly angry, O LORD, and do not remember iniquity forever; behold—look, we are all your people.

Your holy cities have become a wilderness; Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, has become a thing of burning; all our pleasant places are laid waste.

Will you restrain yourself for these things, O LORD? Will you be silent and afflict us beyond measure?
