Isaiah 63:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Lord, why are you making us wander from your ways?
    Why do you make us stubborn so that we don’t honor you?
For our sake come back to us.
    We are your servants, and we belong to you.
¹⁸ Your people had your Temple for a while.
    But now our enemies have walked on your holy place and crushed it.
¹⁹ You have never ruled over some people.
    They have never worn your name.
And we have become like those people.
