Isaiah 64:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ so do not be too angry with us or hold our sins against us forever. We are your people; be merciful to us. ¹⁰ Your sacred cities are like a desert; Jerusalem is a deserted ruin, ¹¹ and our Temple, the sacred and beautiful place where our ancestors praised you, has been destroyed by fire. All the places we loved are in ruins.
