Prayer of Azariah 15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ In this time we have no ruler
or prophet or leader,
    no entirely burned offering or sacrifice, no special gift or incense,
    no place to bring gifts to you
    and find mercy.
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.
