Jeremiah’s Prayer
23I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own.
We are not able to plan our own course.
24So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.
Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.

nor to a person is the walking and the directing of his own step.
Chastise me, O Yahweh, but in moderation,
not in your anger, lest you eradicate me.
