Jeremiah 10:23-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 I know, O Lord, that the way of humans is not in their control,
that mortals as they walk cannot direct their steps.(A)
24 Correct me, O Lord, but in just measure;
not in your anger, or you will bring me to nothing.(B)
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you
and on the peoples that do not call on your name,
for they have devoured Jacob;
they have devoured him and consumed him
and have laid waste his habitation.(C)
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.
