6All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
7No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and have given us over to Septuagint, Syriac and Targum; Hebrew have made us melt because of our sins.
8Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
