Isaiah 64:11

Prayer For Mercy

¹⁰ Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
¹¹ Our holy and beautiful house,
Where our fathers praised You,
Has been burned by fire;
And all our precious things have become a ruin.
¹² Will You restrain Yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
