Jeremiah 10:23
Compare all
21 For the shepherds have become dull-hearted,
And have not sought the Lord;
Therefore they shall not prosper,
And all their flocks shall be ascattered. 
22 Behold, the noise of the report has come,
And a great commotion out of the anorth country,
To make the cities of Judah desolate, a bden of jackals. 
23 O Lord, I know the away of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. 
24 O Lord, acorrect me, but with justice;
Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing. 
25 aPour out Your fury on the Gentiles, bwho do not know You,
And on the families who do not call on Your name;
For they have eaten up Jacob,
cDevoured him and consumed him,
And made his dwelling place desolate.
