Isaiah 64:9-12

ISV(i) 9 Don’t be angry beyond measure, LORD, and don’t remember our iniquity for a season. Please look now, we are all your people. 10 Your holy cities have become a desert; Zion has become like a desert, Jerusalem a desolation. 11 Our holy Temple and our splendor, where our ancestors praised you, have become a conflagration of fire, and all our dearest places have become ruins. 12 LORD, after all this, can you hold yourself back? Can you keep silent and punish us so severely?
