Jeremiah 9:22-24
Living Bible
Jeremiah 9:22-24
Living Bible
22 Tell them this, says the Lord: Bodies shall be scattered across the fields like manure, like sheaves after the mower, and no one will bury them.
23 The Lord says: Let not the wise man bask in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor the rich man in his riches. 24 Let them boast in this alone: That they truly know me, and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way.

New International Version
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.
