Strongs On/Off

Context

64:8 Yet, Lord, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the product of your labor. 64:9 Lord, do not be too angry! Do not hold our sins against us continually! Take a good look at your people, at all of us! 64:10 Your chosen cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem is a desolate ruin. 64:11 Our 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. 64:12 In light of all this, how can you still hold back, Lord? How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?
