Isaiah 63:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷     O Eternal One, why do You make us wander off and direct our minds
        and harden our hearts, so that we no longer respect You?
    Please come back to us, for we are Your servants;
        we are the tribes that have been Yours through the generations.
¹⁸     For such a short time Your holy people possessed Your holy place in Jerusalem;
        then our enemies invaded and trampled all over it.
¹⁹     We’ve become like strangers to You,
        like people You never ruled,
    Like those never associated with Your name.
