Jeremiah 10:24

Guidance and decisionsPrayerHumilityFear

22 Listen! The sound of a report is coming— a great commotion from the land to the north. The cities of Judah will be made a desolation, a haunt for jackals.

23 I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.

Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice— not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

25 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, and on the families that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off; they have devastated his homeland.
