Isaiah 64:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ But Lord, you are our father.
    We are like clay, and you are the potter;
    your hands made us all.
⁹ Lord, don’t continue to be angry with us;
    don’t remember our sins forever.
Please, look at us,
    because we are your people.
¹⁰ Your holy cities are empty like the desert.
    Jerusalem is like a desert;
    it is destroyed.
