Jeremiah 10:23-25
American Standard Version
23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 24 O Jehovah, correct me, but in [a]measure; not in thine anger, lest thou [b]bring me to nothing. 25 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name; for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his [c]habitation.

Jeremiah’s Prayer
23 Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own;
it is not for them to direct their steps.(A)
24 Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—
not in your anger,(B)
or you will reduce me to nothing.(C)
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations(D)
that do not acknowledge you,
on the peoples who do not call on your name.(E)
For they have devoured(F) Jacob;
they have devoured him completely
and destroyed his homeland.(G)
