Jeremiah 10:23-25

Revised Standard Version

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.

²⁵ Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not,
    and upon the peoples that call not on thy name;
for they have devoured Jacob;
    they have devoured him and consumed him,
    and have laid waste his habitation.
