Isaiah 64:6-12

6We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

7There is no one who calls upon your name, who rouses himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have made us melt in the hand of our iniquities.

8But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.

9Be not so terribly angry, O Lord, and remember not iniquity forever. Behold, please look, 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, where our fathers praised you, has been burned by fire, and all our pleasant places have become ruins.

12Will you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord? Will you keep silent, and afflict us so terribly?
