Jeremiah 10:25

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

²⁴ Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice— not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

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.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
