Jeremiah 10:22-24

Modern English Version

²² Listen! The sound of the report has come,
    and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah desolate
    and a den of jackals.

²³ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself;
    it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
²⁴ O Lord, correct me, but with justice,
    not in Your anger,
    lest You bring me to nothing.
