⁶ All of us have become like one who is unclean,^(A)
    and all our righteous^(B) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,^(C)
    and like the wind our sins sweep us away.^(D)
7 No one^(E) calls on your name^(F)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden^(G) your face from us
    and have given us over^(H) to^[a] our sins.

⁸ Yet you, Lord, are our Father.^(I)
    We are the clay, you are the potter;^(J)
    we are all the work of your hand.^(K)
