Jeremiah 10:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ Lord, I know that our lives do not belong to us.
    We have no control over what happens.
²⁴ So correct us, Lord!
    But please be fair.
Don’t punish us in anger,
    or you will destroy us!
²⁵ If you are angry, then punish the other nations.
    They don’t know or respect you.
    They don’t worship you.
Those nations destroyed Jacob’s family.
    They destroyed Israel completely.
    They destroyed Israel’s homeland.
