Jeremiah 9:22-24
Wycliffe Bible
22 Speak thou, The Lord saith these things, And the dead body of a man shall fall down as a turd on the face of the country(side), and as hay behind the back of the mower, and none there is that gathereth (and there is no one who gathereth them).
23 (And) The Lord saith these things, A wise man have not glory in his wisdom, and a strong man have not glory in his strength, and a rich man have not glory in his riches;
24 but he that hath glory, have glory in this, to know and know me, for I am the Lord, that do mercy, and doom, and rightfulness in [the] earth. For why these things please me, saith the Lord. (but he who hath glory, have glory in this, to know and to understand me, for I am the Lord, who do mercy, and judgement, and righteousness/who do mercy, and justice, and what is right, upon the earth. Yea, because these things please me, saith 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.
