9Be not very angry, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 10Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. 12Wilt thou restrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and grievously afflict us?
