New King James Version (NKJV)
Jeremiah 10
23 O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
24 O Lord, correct me, but with justice; Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.
25 Pour out Your fury on the Gentiles, who do not know You, And on the families who do not call on Your name; For they have eaten up Jacob, Devoured him and consumed him, And made his dwelling place desolate.
Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 "Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 and say to them, ’Thus says the Lord God of Israel: "Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant
4 which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ’Obey My voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be My people, and I will be your God,’
5 that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them ’a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is this day." ’ " And I answered and said, "So be it, Lord."
6 Then the Lord said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: ’Hear the words of this covenant and do them.
7 For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, "Obey My voice."
8 Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone followed the dictates of his evil heart; therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they have not done.’ "
