Prayer of Azariah 1:7 In-Context

5 You did what was right when you brought disaster upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our ancestors. We deserved that judgment because of our sins.

6 We disobeyed you, we turned our backs on you, and we are guilty of every sin.

7 We did not do the things that you commanded us to do. If we had obeyed your laws, we would have prospered,

8 but now we deserve the judgment and punishment that you have brought upon us.

9 You have handed us over to lawless, hateful, and defiant enemies - to the most wicked king in the world.
