Jeremiah 10:22-24

World English Bible

²² The voice of news, behold, it comes,
    and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
    a dwelling place of jackals.
²³ Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself.
    It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
²⁴ Yahweh, correct me, but gently;
    not in your anger,
    lest you reduce me to nothing.
