Jeremiah's Prayer

23 Lord, we know that people do not control their own destiny. It is not in their power to determine what will happen to them. 24 Correct us, Lord, but only in due measure. Do not punish us in anger or you will reduce us to nothing. 25 Vent your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you. Vent it on the peoples who do not worship you. For they have destroyed the people of Jacob. They have completely destroyed them and left their homeland in utter ruin.
