Prayer of Azariah 1:9 In-Context

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.
10 And now all of us who worship you are humiliated; we are too ashamed to open our mouths.
11 "Yet for the sake of your own honor, do not break your covenant with us and abandon us forever.
