Jeremiah 10:23-25
Legacy Standard Bible
23 I know, O Yahweh, that (A)a man’s way is not in himself,
(B)Nor is it in a man who walks to [a]direct his steps.
24 (C)Discipline me, O Yahweh, but with justice;
Not with Your anger, lest You [b]bring me to nothing.
25 (D)Pour out Your wrath on the nations that (E)do not know You
And on the families that (F)do not call Your name,
For they have devoured Jacob;
They have (G)devoured him and consumed him
And have made desolate his [c]abode.

Jeremiah 10:23-25
Common English Bible
23 I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own,
that we’re not able to direct our paths.
24 So correct me, Lord, but with justice,
not in your anger,
or else you will reduce me to nothing.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations
that ignore you
and on the people
who don’t call on you,
since they have devoured Jacob;
they have devoured him completely
and ruined his country.
