Jeremiah 9:21-23
Lexham English Bible
21 For death has come into our windows,
it has entered into our fortresses,
to cut off the children[a] from the streets,[b]
the young men from the public squares.
22 Speak, ‘thus declares[c] Yahweh:
“The dead body of the human will fall
like dung upon the surface of the field,
and like cut grain behind the reaper,
and there is no one who gathers.”’”
The Things in Which Yahweh Delights
23 Thus says Yahweh,
“The wise man must not boast in his wisdom,
and the warrior must not boast in his might,
the wealthy man must not boast in his wealth.
