Isaiah 64:8-12

8Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our Potter, And we all are the work of Your hand.

9Do not be angry beyond measure, O Lord, Do not remember our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing] forever. Now look, consider, for we are all Your people.

10Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

11Our holy and beautiful house [the temple built by Solomon], Where our fathers praised You, Has been burned by fire; And all our precious objects are in ruins.

12Considering these [tragedies], will You restrain Yourself, O Lord [and not help us]? Will You keep silent and humiliate and oppress us beyond measure?
