Isaiah 64:7-12

64:7 No one invokes your name,

or makes an effort to take hold of you.

For you have rejected us

and handed us over to our own sins.

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?
