Isaiah 64:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Your holy cities have become a wilderness,
    Zion has become a wilderness,
    Jerusalem a desolation.
¹¹ Our holy and beautiful house,
    where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned by fire,
    and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
¹² After all this, will you restrain yourself, O Lord?
    Will you keep silent, and punish us so severely?
