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.
