23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself.
    It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Yahweh, correct me, but gently;

    lest you reduce me to nothing.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,

for they have devoured Jacob.
    Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him,
    and have laid waste his habitation.
