6. For we have all become like one who is unclean,and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment.We all fade like a leaf;and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7. There is no one who calls on your name,who stirs himself up to take hold of you;for you have hidden your face from us,and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
8. But now, Lord, you are our Father.We are the clay, and you our potter.We all are the work of your hand.
9. Don’t be furious, Lord,and don’t remember iniquity forever.Look and see, we beg you,we are all your people.
10. Your holy cities have become a wilderness.Zion has become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.
