Jeremiah 10:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Prayer of Jeremiah
23 I know, Lord,
that no one chooses their way,
Nor determines their course
nor directs their own step.
24 Correct me, Lord, but with equity,
not in anger, lest you diminish me.
25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you,
on the tribes that do not call your name;
For they have utterly devoured Jacob,
and laid waste his home.(A)

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)
