In context

21For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.

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

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

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

25Pour 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.
