Jeremiah 9:22-24

EasyEnglish Bible

Dead bodies of people will lie everywhere on the ground.
They will lie there like dung
    that a farmer puts on his fields.
They will lie there like crops at harvest time
    that nobody has picked up.’

‘Wise people should not be proud of their wisdom.
    Powerful people should not be proud of their power.
    And rich people should not be proud that they are rich.
²⁴ If they want to be proud about something,
    they should be proud that they know me.
    They should boast that they understand who I am.
I am the Lord.
    I am faithful in my love for my people.
    I always do what is right and fair.
It makes me happy when people live in that way too.’
