New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
7 Yet no one calls on your name or pleads with you for mercy. Therefore, you have turned away from us and turned us over to our sins.
7
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 And yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.
8
Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
9 Don’t be so angry with us, LORD . Please don’t remember our sins forever. Look at us, we pray, and see that we are all your people.
9
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 Your holy cities are destroyed. Zion is a wilderness; yes, Jerusalem is a desolate ruin.
10
Your sacred cities have become a wasteland; even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 The holy and beautiful Temple where our ancestors praised you has been burned down, and all the things of beauty are destroyed.
11
Our holy and glorious temple, where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire, and all that we treasured lies in ruins.
12 After all this, LORD, must you still refuse to help us? Will you continue to be silent and punish us?
12
After all this, LORD, will you hold yourself back? Will you keep silent and punish us beyond measure?
