Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
No one calls on Your Name, or stirs himself up to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us, and have consumed us, because of our iniquities.
But now, Adonai, You are our Father. We are the clay and You are our potter, We are all the work of Your hand.

You say: “Serving God is worthless.” Also: “What good is it that we kept His service or that we walked as mourners before Adonai-Tzva’ot?
