Isaiah 64:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Thy holy cities have become a wilderness,
    Zion has become a wilderness,
    Jerusalem a desolation.
¹¹ Our holy and beautiful house,
    where our fathers praised thee,
has been burned by fire,
    and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
¹² Wilt thou restrain thyself at these things, O Lord?
    Wilt thou keep silent, and afflict us sorely?
