Isaiah 64:8-12

8Yet, Lord, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the product of your labor.

9Lord, do not be too angry! Do not hold our sins against us continually! Take a good look at your people, at all of us!

10Your chosen cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem is a desolate ruin.

11Our holy temple, our pride and joy, the place where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire; all our prized possessions have been destroyed.

12In light of all this, how can you still hold back, Lord? How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?
