7. No one worships youor even asks you to help us.That is because you have turned away from usand have let our sins destroy us.
8. But Lord, you are our father.We are like clay, and you are the potter;your hands made us all.
9. Lord, don’t continue to be angry with us;don’t remember our sins forever.Please, look at us,because we are your people.
10. Your holy cities are empty like the desert.Jerusalem is like a desert;it is destroyed.
