Isaiah 64:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
Yet, O Lord, You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our Potter,
And we all are the work of Your hand.
9
Do not be angry beyond measure, O Lord,
Do not remember our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing] forever.
Now look, consider, for we are all Your people.
10
[a]Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
