Azariah 1, KJV

1:1 And they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing the Lord.

1:2 Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire said,

1:3 Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore:

1:4 For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done to us: yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all thy judgments truth.

1:5 In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgment: for according to truth and judgment didst thou bring all these things upon us because of our sins.

1:6 For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from thee.

1:7 In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast commanded us, that it might go well with us.

1:8 Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment.

1:9 And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.

1:10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants; and to them that worship thee.

1:11 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, neither disannul thou thy covenant:

1:12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy beloved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Issac's sake, and for thy holy Israel's sake;

1:13 To 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.

1:14 For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.

1:15 Neither 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.

1:16 Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.

1:17 Like 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.

1:18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face.

1:19 Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.

1:20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: and let all them that do thy servants hurt be ashamed;

1:21 And let them be confounded in all their power and might, and let their strength be broken;

1:22 And let them know that thou art God, the only God, and glorious over the whole world.

1:23 And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased not to make the oven hot with rosin, pitch, tow, and small wood;

1:24 So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty and nine cubits.

1:25 And it passed through, and burned those Chaldeans it found about the furnace.

1:26 But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven together with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven;

1:27 And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them.

1:28 Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed, God in the furnace, saying,
