Jeremiah 10:23-25
Amplified Bible
23
O Lord, I know that the path of [life of] a man is not in himself;
It is not within [the limited ability of] man [even one at his best] to choose and direct his steps [in life].(A)
24
O Lord, correct me [along with Your people], but with mercy and in just measure—
Not in Your anger, or You will crush me and bring me to nothing.
25
Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know nor recognize You
And on the families that do not call Your name.
For they have devoured Jacob;
They have devoured him and consumed him
And made his land a desolate waste.
Jeremiah 10:23-25
New American Standard Bible
23 I know, Lord, that (A)a person’s way is not in himself,
(B)Nor is it in a person who walks to direct his steps.
24 (C)Correct me, Lord, but with justice;
Not with Your anger, or You will [a]bring me to nothing.
25 (D)Pour out Your wrath on the nations that (E)do not know You,
And on the families who (F)do not call upon Your name;
For they have devoured Jacob;
They have (G)devoured him and consumed him,
And have laid waste his [b]settlement.
