Jeremiah 10:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ Lord, I know that a person doesn’t control their own life.
    They don’t direct their own steps.
²⁴ Correct me, Lord, but please be fair.
    Don’t correct me when you are angry.
    If you do, nothing will be left of me.
²⁵ Pour out your great anger on the nations.
    They don’t pay any attention to you.
    They refuse to worship you.
They have destroyed the people of Jacob.
    They’ve wiped them out completely.
    They’ve also destroyed the land they lived in.
