Jeremiah 10:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² Listen! A message is coming!
    I hear the sound of a great army
    marching down from the north!
It will turn Judah’s towns into a desert.
    They will become a home for wild dogs.

²³ Lord, I know that a person doesn’t control their own life.
    They don’t direct their own steps.
²⁴ Correct me, Lord, but please be fair.
    Don’t correct me when you are angry.
    If you do, nothing will be left of me.
