Isaiah 63:17-19

New Century Version

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,
    your servants, who 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 We have become like people you never ruled over,
    like those who have never worn your name.
