10 Your holy cities have become a desert;
    Zion has become like[a] a desert,
        Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy Temple and our splendor,
    where our ancestors praised you,
have become[b] a conflagration of fire,
    and all our dearest places have become[c] ruins.

    Can you keep silent and punish us so severely?
