¹¹ “I will make Jerusalem a heap^(A) of ruins,
    a haunt of jackals;^(B)
and I will lay waste the towns of Judah^(C)
    so no one can live there.”^(D)

“‘Dead bodies will lie
    like dung^(A) on the open field,
like cut grain behind the reaper,
    with no one to gather them.’”

²⁴ but let the one who boasts boast^(A) about this:
    that they have the understanding to know^(B) me,
that I am the Lord,^(C) who exercises kindness,^(D)
    justice and righteousness^(E) on earth,
    for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.
