Isaiah 64:6-12

6For all of us have become like one who is 1unclean, And all our 2righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us 3wither like a leaf, And our 4wrongdoings, like the wind, take us away.7There is 5no one who calls on Your name, Who stirs himself to take hold of You; For You have 6hidden Your face from us And have 7surrendered us to the power of our wrongdoings.

8But now, Lord, 8You are our Father; We are the 9clay, and You our potter, And all of us are the 10work of Your hand.9Do not be 11angry beyond measure, Lord, 12Nor remember wrongdoing forever. Behold, please look, all of us are 13Your people.10Your 14holy cities have become a 15wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.11Our holy and beautiful 16house, Where our fathers praised You, Has been burned by fire; And 17all our precious things have become a ruin.12Will You 18restrain Yourself at these things, Lord? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
