Prayer of Azariah 5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ You have executed true judgements in all you have brought upon us
    and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our ancestors;
    by a true judgement you have brought all this upon us because of our sins.
⁶ For we have sinned and broken your law in turning away from you;
    in all matters we have sinned grievously.
⁷ We have not obeyed your commandments,
    we have not kept them or done what you have commanded us for our own good.
