Isaiah 64:11

Prayer For Mercy

¹⁰ Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is a wasteland. 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 Despite these things, Jehovah, will you restrain yourself? Will you be silent and make us suffer beyond measure?
