Prayer of Azariah 13-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹³ to whom you promised
    to multiply their descendants like the stars of heaven
    and like the sand on the shore of the sea.
¹⁴ For we, O Lord, have become fewer than any other nation,
    and are brought low this day in all the world because of our sins.
¹⁵ In our day we have no ruler, or prophet, or leader,
    no burnt-offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense,
    no place to make an offering before you and to find mercy.
