21 Death has climbed in through our windows.
    It has entered our strong cities.
Death has taken away our children who play in the streets.
    It has taken the young men who meet in the city squares.

22 Say, “This is what the Lord says:

‘The dead bodies of men will lie
    in the open field like dung.
They 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:

“Wise men must not brag about their wisdom.
    Strong men must not brag about their strength.
    Rich men must not brag about their money.
