Jeremiah 10:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² Listen! The news is coming.
    A ·loud noise [great commotion] comes from the north [^Cthe Babylonian army]
to make the towns of Judah an ·empty desert [desolation]
    and a ·home [haunt] for wild dogs [jackals]!

²³ Lord, I know that ·our lives don’t really belong to us [^Lhis way/path does not belong to people].
    ·We can’t control our own lives [^LPeople as they walk cannot establish their steps].
²⁴ Lord, ·correct [teach; instruct] me, but be ·fair [just].
    Don’t punish me in your anger,
    or you will ·destroy me [^Lmake me dwindle].
