Verse 16

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. The Jewish prayer Avinu Malkeinu invokes God as father, referring to this verse. Neither of the patriarchs, "Abraham" or "Israel" (meaning Jacob), would recognise the Israel addressed by the prophet; descent from them cannot guarantee the nation any protection.Catholic Book Publishing Corporation (2019), New Catholic Bible: Footnote c at Isaiah 63:16, accessed 3 December 2023
