Jeremiah 10:23-25
New International Version
Jeremiah’s Prayer
23 Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own;
it is not for them to direct their steps.(A)
24 Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—
not in your anger,(B)
or you will reduce me to nothing.(C)
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations(D)
that do not acknowledge you,
on the peoples who do not call on your name.(E)
For they have devoured(F) Jacob;
they have devoured him completely
and destroyed his homeland.(G)
Jeremiah 10:23-25
New Living Translation
Jeremiah’s Prayer
23 I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own.
We are not able to plan our own course.
24 So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.
Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you—
on the peoples that do not call upon your name.
For they have devoured your people Israel[a];
they have devoured and consumed them,
making the land a desolate wilderness.
