Isaiah 64:9-11

Expanded Bible

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 [have become a wilderness/wasteland].
    ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple] is like a ·desert [wilderness; wasteland];
    it is ·destroyed [a desolation].
¹¹ Our ancestors worshiped you
    in our holy and wonderful Temple,
but now it has been burned with fire,
    and all our ·precious [treasured; pleasant] things have ·been destroyed [become ruins].
