Prayer of Azariah 1:14

14 For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.

Prayer of Azariah 1:14 In-Context

12 And take not away thy mercy from us for the sake of Abraham thy beloved, and Isaac thy servant, and Israel thy holy one:
13 To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is onthe sea shore.
14 For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.
15 Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of firstfruits before thee,
16 That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted.
