32:11 But Moses sought the favor 1 of the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
63:16 For you are our father,
though Abraham does not know us
and Israel does not recognize us.
You, Lord, are our father;
you have been called our protector from ancient times. 7
63:17 Why, Lord, do you make us stray 8 from your ways, 9
and make our minds stubborn so that we do not obey you? 10
Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your inheritance!
63:18 For a short time your special 11 nation possessed a land, 12
but then our adversaries knocked down 13 your holy sanctuary.
63:19 We existed from ancient times, 14
but you did not rule over them,
they were not your subjects. 15
64:8 Yet, 16 Lord, you are our father.
We are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the product of your labor. 17
64:9 Lord, do not be too angry!
Do not hold our sins against us continually! 18
Take a good look at your people, at all of us! 19
64:10 Your chosen 20 cities have become a desert;
Zion has become a desert,
Jerusalem 21 is a desolate ruin.
64:11 Our holy temple, our pride and joy, 22
the place where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned with fire;
all our prized possessions have been destroyed. 23
64:12 In light of all this, 24 how can you still hold back, Lord?
How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?
14:20 Lord, we confess that we have been wicked.
We confess that our ancestors have done wrong. 25
We have indeed 26 sinned against you.
14:21 For the honor of your name, 27 do not treat Jerusalem 28 with contempt.
Do not treat with disdain the place where your glorious throne sits. 29
Be mindful of your covenant with us. Do not break it! 30
