Jeremiah 10:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the [a]North country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23 O Lord, I know that [b]the way of man is not in himself, neither is it in man to walk and to direct his steps.
24 O Lord, correct me, but with [c]judgment, not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

- Jeremiah 10:22 Read Jer. 4:15.
- Jeremiah 10:23 He speaketh this because that Nebuchadnezzar purposed to have made war against the Moabites and Ammonites, but hearing of Zedekiah’s rebellion, he turned his power to go against Jerusalem, Ezek. 21:21, therefore the Prophet saith, that this was the Lord’s direction.
- Jeremiah 10:24 Considering that God had revealed unto him the certitude of their captivity, Jer. 7:16, he only prayeth, that he would punish them with mercy, which Isaiah calleth in measure, Isa. 27:8, measuring his rods by their infirmity, 1 Cor. 10:13, for here by judgment is meant not only the punishment, but also the merciful moderation of the same, as Jer. 30:11.
