22. The voice of news, behold, it comes,and a great commotion out of the north country,to make the cities of Judah a desolation,a dwelling place of jackals.
23. Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself.It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24. Lord, correct me, but gently;not in your anger,lest you reduce me to nothing.
25. Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,and on the families that don’t call on your name;for they have devoured Jacob.Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him,and have laid waste his habitation.
