Jeremiah 9:22-24
Easy-to-Read Version
Jeremiah 9:22-24
Easy-to-Read Version
22 This is what you should say: “The Lord says,
‘Dead bodies will lie
in the fields like dung.
Their bodies will lie on the ground like grain a farmer has cut.
But there will be no one to gather them.’”
23 This is what the Lord says:
“The wise must not brag about their wisdom.
The strong men must not brag about their strength.
The rich must not brag about their money.
24 But if someone wants to brag, then let them brag about this:
Let them brag that they learned to know me.
Let them brag that they understand that I am the Lord,
that I am kind and fair,
and that I do good things on earth.
I love this kind of bragging.”
This message is from the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:22-24
New International Version
22 Say, “This is what the Lord declares:
“‘Dead bodies will lie
like dung(A) on the open field,
like cut grain behind the reaper,
with no one to gather them.’”
23 This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom(B)
or the strong boast of their strength(C)
or the rich boast of their riches,(D)
24 but let the one who boasts boast(E) about this:
that they have the understanding to know(F) me,
that I am the Lord,(G) who exercises kindness,(H)
justice and righteousness(I) on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.
