Prayer of Azariah 1:16
King James VersionSource notes
“Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.”
Context
13To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore.
14For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.
15Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy.
16Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.
17Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.
18And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face.
19Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
