Isaiah 64:9-12

Common English Bible

⁹ Don’t rage so fiercely, Lord;
    don’t hold our sins against us forever,
    but gaze now on your people, all of us:
¹⁰     Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
    Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a wasteland.
¹¹ Our holy, glorious house,
    where our ancestors praised you,
    has gone up in flames;
    all that we treasured has become a ruin.
¹² After all this, will you hold back, Lord?
    Will you keep silent and torment us so terribly?
