As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

The verse 2 is found in chapter 64 of Isaiah. The prayer asks God to tear open the heavens and descend, returning to the language of a divine manifestation capable of transforming reality. The people recognize that their own righteousness is insufficient and confess their sins. The potter image expresses radical dependence upon the Creator, while the final plea asks how long Zion will remain abandoned.

durch die Wunder, die du tust, deren man sich nicht versieht, daß du herabführest und die Berge vor dir zerflössen!
Como fuego abrasador de fundiciones, fuego que hace hervir las aguas, para que hicieras notorio tu nombre a tus enemigos, y las gentes temblasen a tu presencia!
como el fuego enciende la leña, como el fuego hace hervir el agua, para dar a conocer tu nombre a tus adversarios y hacer temblar a las naciones ante tu presencia!
Comme s'allume un feu de bois sec, Comme s'évapore l'eau qui bouillonne; Tes ennemis connaîtraient ton nom, Et les nations trembleraient devant toi.
a guisa che il fuoco divampa le cose che si fondono, e fa bollir l’acqua; per far conoscere il tuo Nome a’ tuoi nemici, onde le genti tremassero per la tua presenza!
Como o fogo abrasador de fundição, fogo que faz ferver as águas, para fazeres notório o teu nome aos teus adversários, e assim as nações tremessem da tua presença!
好像火燒乾柴, 又如火將水燒開, 使你敵人知道你的名, 列國必在你面前發顫!
