Jeremiah’s Prayer
23 Lord, I know that ·our lives don’t really belong to us [L his way/path does not belong to people].
·We can’t control our own lives [L People as they walk cannot establish their steps].
24 Lord, ·correct [teach; instruct] me, but be ·fair [just].
Don’t punish me in your anger,
or you will ·destroy me [L make me dwindle].
25 Pour out your anger on other nations
that do not know you
and do not pray to you.
Those nations have ·destroyed [consumed] the people of Jacob.
They have ·eaten [consumed] them up completely
and ·destroyed [desolated] their homeland.

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)
