64:9 Lord, do not be too angry!
Do not hold our sins against us continually! 1
Take a good look at your people, at all of us! 2
64:10 Your chosen 3 cities have become a desert;
Zion has become a desert,
Jerusalem 4 is a desolate ruin.
64:11 Our holy temple, our pride and joy, 5
the place where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned with fire;
all our prized possessions have been destroyed. 6
64:12 In light of all this, 7 how can you still hold back, Lord?
How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?
