O my God, stretch out Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our ruins and the city which is called with Your name on it. For we do not make our prayers fall before You on account of our righteousnesses, but because of Your great mercies.
From the days of your fathers, you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Turn back to Me, and I will turn back to you, says Jehovah of Hosts. But you say, In what way shall we turn back?
