Daniel 3:33–41
33And now we can’t open our mouth. Shame and reproach have come on your servants and those who worship you.↗
34Don’t utterly deliver us up, for your name’s sake. Don’t annul your covenant.↗
35Don’t cause your mercy to depart from us, for the sake of Abraham who is loved by you, and for the sake of Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one,↗
36to whom you promised that you would multiply their offspring as the stars of the sky, and as the sand that is on the sea shore.↗
37For we, O Lord, have become less than any nation, and are brought low this day in all the world because of our sins.↗
38There isn’t at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to offer before you, and to find mercy.↗
39Nevertheless in a contrite heart and a humble spirit let us be accepted,↗
40like the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like ten thousands of fat lambs. So let our sacrifice be in your sight this day, that we may wholly go after you, for they shall not be ashamed who put their trust in you.↗
41And now we follow you with all our heart. We fear you, and seek your face.↗
