9. Lord, do not be terribly angryor remember our iniquity forever. Please look — all of us are Your people!
10. Your holy cities have become a wilderness;Zion has become a wilderness,Jerusalem a desolation.
11. Our holy and beautiful temple,where our fathers praised You,has been burned with fire,and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.
12. Lord, after all this, will You restrain Yourself?Will You keep silent and afflict severely?
