The prayer “LORD, correct me, but gently”
"여호와여 나를 징계하옵시되 너그러이 하시고" 하는 기도
Jeremiah 10:23–25: the speaker (“I”) says, “LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps. LORD, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing. 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.” Neither edition names the speaker. The Korean Revised Version reads at 10:25 야곱을 씹어 삼켜 멸하고 (they have chewed up and swallowed Jacob and destroyed him), where WEB reads “they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him”.
