Isaiah 64:6-12

6But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.

7And there is no one who calls on Your name, Who stirs himself up to take hold of You; For You have hidden Your face from us, And have consumed us because of our iniquities.

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

9Do not be furious, O Lord, Nor remember iniquity forever; Indeed, please look—we all are Your people!

10Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

11Our holy and beautiful temple, Where our fathers praised You, Is burned up with fire; And all our pleasant things are laid waste.

12Will You restrain Yourself because of these things, O Lord? Will You hold Your peace, and afflict us very severely?
