Isaiah 64:8-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ Yet, O Lord, you are our Father;
    we are the clay, and you are our potter;
    we are all the work of your hand.^(A)
9 Do not be exceedingly angry, O Lord,
    and do not remember iniquity forever.
    Now consider, we are all your people.^(B)
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
    Zion has become a wilderness,
    Jerusalem a desolation.^(C)
11 Our holy and beautiful house,
    where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned by fire,
    and all our pleasant places have become ruins.^(D)
12 After all this, will you restrain yourself, O Lord?
    Will you keep silent and punish us so severely?^(E)
