22 The sound of a report, it’s coming now!
    There is a great commotion from a land in the north

    a refuge for jackals.”

Jeremiah’s Prayer

23 Lord, I know that a person’s life is not his to control,[a]

24 Lord, correct me, but with justice,
    not with anger.
        Otherwise, you’ll bring me to nothing.
