9. Don’t be furious, Lord,and don’t remember iniquity forever.Look and see, we beg you,we are all your people.
10. Your holy cities have become a wilderness.Zion has become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.
11. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you,is burnt with fire;and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
12. Will you hold yourself back for these things, Lord?Will you keep silent, and punish us very severely?
