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;
    not in your anger,
    lest you reduce me to nothing.
²⁵ Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,
    and on the families that don’t call on your name;
for they have devoured Jacob.
    Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him,
    and have laid waste his habitation.
