Jeremiah 10:24 Context
22Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey, to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons. 23¶ O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himselfe: it is not in man that walketh, to direct his steps. 24O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 25Powre out thy fury vpon the heathen that know thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iacob, and deuoured him, and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.

Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 10:24
10:24 Correct me - Seeing thou wilt punish us, let it be a correction only, not a destruction. Let it be in measure; in the midst of judgment remember mercy. Anger - Lest if thou shouldst let out thy fury upon me, thou wouldst utterly consume me.
