“LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.”

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Jeremiah 10 contains 25 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
