Isaiah 64:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Your holy cities have become a wilderness;
Zion has become wilderness, Jerusalem desolation!(A)
10 Our holy and glorious house
in which our ancestors praised you
Has been burned with fire;
all that was dear to us is laid waste.
11 Can you hold back, Lord, after all this?
Can you remain silent, and afflict us so severely?
