7. No one worships in your nameor remains faithful.You have turned your back on usand let our sins melt us away.
8. You, Lord, are our Father.We are nothing but clay,but you are the potterwho moulded us.
9. Don't be so furiousor keep our sinsin your thoughts for ever!Remember that all of usare your people.
10. Every one of your townshas turned into a desert,especially Jerusalem.
11. Zion's glorious and holy templewhere our ancestors praised youhas been destroyed by fire.Our beautiful buildingsare now a pile of ruins.
12. When you see these things,how can you just sit thereand make us suffer more?
