Bible verse
Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice—not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
Jeremiah 10:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 10.
20 My tent is destroyed, and all its ropes are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one left to pitch my tent or set up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
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.
24 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.
