The Prophet is a fine example of how we should pray, coming to God confessing our sins, acknowledging we've been wrong and praying according to His word. It shows he was as tudent of the Bible watch and taking heed to the time of fulfillment of God's prophecy about what would happen when they violated His word and what the ppunish would be. It was inclusive of himself laso, even though there's no reported sin of his in the Bible ( Ezekiel 14:14-20 ).
