Isaiah 64:6-12

6All of us have become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like a polluted garment; all of us wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.

7No one calls on your name, striving to take hold of you. For you have hidden your face from us and made us melt because of our iniquity.

8Yet Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we all are the work of your hands.

9Lord, do not be terribly angry or remember our iniquity forever. Please look — all of us are your people!

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

11Our holy and beautiful temple, where our ancestors praised you, has been burned down, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.

12Lord, after all this, will you restrain yourself? Will you keep silent and afflict us severely?
