Jeremiah 10:23-25
GOD’S WORD Translation
23 O Lord, I know that the way humans act is not under their control.
Humans do not direct their steps as they walk.
24 Correct me, O Lord, but please be fair.
Don’t correct me when you’re angry.
Otherwise, you’ll reduce me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury on the nations who don’t know you
and on people who don’t worship you.
They have devoured the descendants of Jacob.
They have devoured them completely.
They have destroyed their homes.
Jeremiah 10:23-25
New International Version
Jeremiah’s Prayer
23 Lord, I know that people’s lives are not their own;
it is not for them to direct their steps.(A)
24 Discipline me, Lord, but only in due measure—
not in your anger,(B)
or you will reduce me to nothing.(C)
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations(D)
that do not acknowledge you,
on the peoples who do not call on your name.(E)
For they have devoured(F) Jacob;
they have devoured him completely
and destroyed his homeland.(G)
