Jeremiah 10:23-25 - Jeremiah's Prayer

²³ I know, Yahweh, that to the human [is] not his [own] way, nor to a person [is the] walking and the directing of his [own] step. ²⁴ Chastise me, Yahweh, but in moderation, not in your anger, lest you eradicate me. ²⁵ Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on [the] peoples that do not call on your name, for they have devoured Jacob, they have devoured and consumed him, and they have caused his settlement to be desolate.
