Prayer of Azariah 16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Accept us, please, with our crushed souls and humble spirits,
    as if we brought entirely burned offerings of rams and bulls,
    as if we brought tens of thousands
    of fat lambs.
¹⁷ May this be the kind of offering we make in your presence today,
    and may we follow you completely,^[a]
    since no shame will come to those who come to terms with you.
¹⁸ Now we follow you with our hearts,
    honor you, and seek your presence.
