Isaiah 64:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Lord, please do not be too angry with us.
    Do not hold our sins in your mind for ever.
Do not forget us!
    We are your people, all of us!
¹⁰ Your holy cities are as empty as a desert.
    Yes, Zion has become a desert.
    Jerusalem is just a heap of stones.
¹¹ Our ancestors praised you
    here in your temple.
It was a beautiful place that we were proud of.
But now fire has destroyed it.
    All our beautiful things are completely spoiled.
