Jeremiah 10:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² Listen! The news is coming.
    The loud noise is coming from the north.
It will make the towns of Judah an empty desert.
    They will become a home for wild dogs!

²³ Lord, I know that a person’s life doesn’t really belong to him.
    No one can control his own life.
²⁴ Lord, correct me, but be fair.
    Don’t punish me in anger.
    If you do, you will destroy me.
