While standing and praying in the middle of the fire, Azariah spoke like this:
3
Blessed are you, Lord God of our ancestors. You deserve to be praised and honored forever!
4
Everything you've done to us is fair. All your actions are right, your ways consistent; all your decisions are sound.
5
You judged us fairly in all the things you've done to us and to Jerusalem, our ancestors' holy city. You were honest and fair in doing all these things to us because of our sins.
6
We sinned and broke the law by turning from you; we sinned in everything we did.
