Prayer of Azariah 1:1 In-Context

1 The three young men, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, started walking around in the flames, singing hymns to God, and praising him as Lord.

2 Then Azariah stood still and there in the fire he prayed aloud:

3 "O Lord, the God of our ancestors, we praise and adore you; may your name be honored forever.

4 You have treated us as we deserve. In everything you have done to us you are always honest, and when you bring us to judgment, you are always fair.

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.
