Prayer of Azariah 13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ to whom you promised
    to multiply their descendants like the stars of heaven
    and like the sand on the shore of the sea.^(A)
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.^(B)
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.^(C)
