21 Death has climbed in through our windows.
    It has entered our forts.
Death has removed the children from the streets.
    It has taken the young men out of the market.

22 Say, “The Lord announces,

“ ‘Dead bodies will be like human waste
    lying in the open fields.
They will lie there like grain
    that is cut down at harvest time.
    No one will gather them up.’ ”

23 The Lord says,

“Do not let wise people brag about how wise they are.
    Do not let strong people boast about how strong they are.
    Do not let rich people brag about how rich they are.
