Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

The verse 11 is found in chapter 64 of Isaiah. The prayer asks God to tear open the heavens and descend, returning to the language of a divine manifestation capable of transforming reality. The people recognize that their own righteousness is insufficient and confess their sins. The potter image expresses radical dependence upon the Creator, while the final plea asks how long Zion will remain abandoned.

HERR, willst du so hart sein zu solchem und schweigen und uns so sehr niederschlagen?
La casa de nuestro santuario y de nuestra gloria, en la cual te alabaron nuestros padres, fue consumida al fuego; y todas nuestras cosas preciosas han sido destruidas.
Nuestra casa santa y gloriosa, donde te alabaron nuestros padres, ha sido quemada por el fuego; todas nuestras cosas preciosas se han convertido en ruinas.
Notre maison sainte et glorieuse, Où nos pères célébraient tes louanges, Est devenue la proie des flammes; Tout ce que nous avions de précieux a été dévasté.
La Casa della nostra santità, e della nostra gloria, dove già ti lodarono i nostri padri, è stata arsa col fuoco; e tutte le cose nostre più care sono state guaste.
A nossa santa e gloriosa casa, em que te louvavam nossos pais, foi queimada a fogo; e todas as nossas coisas preciosas se tornaram em assolação.
我們那神聖華美的殿, 就是我們祖先讚美你的地方,已被火焚燒; 我們所羨慕的美地盡都荒蕪。
