No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and have given us over to our sins.
8 Yet, O LORD, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou art our potter; we are all the work of thy hand.

Do not be angry beyond measure, LORD; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people.
10 Thy holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.

After all this, LORD, will you hold yourself back? Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?
