23 I know, O Yahweh, that to the human is not his own way,
    nor to a person is the walking and the directing of his own step.
24 Chastise[a] me, O Yahweh, but in moderation,
    not in your anger, lest you eradicate me.
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 and consumed him,
    and they have caused his settlement to be desolate.

    not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.

25 (C)Pour out your wrath on the nations that know you not,
    and on the peoples that call not on your name,
(D)for they have devoured Jacob;
    they have devoured him and consumed him,
