See how we have been disgraced!
Daniel 9:16-19

18 “O my God, lean down and listen to me. Open your eyes and see our despair. See how your city—the city that bears your name—lies in ruins. We make this plea, not because we deserve help, but because of your mercy.
19 “O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, listen and act! For your own sake, do not delay, O my God, for your people and your city bear your name.”
Lamentations 2:20

20 “O Lord, think about this!
Should you treat your own people this way?
Should mothers eat their own children,
those they once bounced on their knees?
Should priests and prophets be killed
within the Lord’s Temple?
Isaiah 64:1

64 [a]Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down!
How the mountains would quake in your presence!

May they perish at the sight of your frown.
