9. Do not be angry beyond measure, O Lord, Nor remember iniquity forever; Behold, look now, all of us are Your people.
10. Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11. Our holy and beautiful house, Where our fathers praised You, Has been burned by fire; And all our precious things have become a ruin.
12. Will You restrain Yourself at these things, O Lord? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
