Jeremiah 10:22-24

Revised Standard Version

²² Hark, a rumor! Behold, it comes!—
    a great commotion out of the north country
to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
    a lair of jackals.

²³ I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself,
    that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
²⁴ Correct me, O Lord, but in just measure;
    not in thy anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
