Jeremiah 9:22-24

Lexham English Bible

“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 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.
²⁴ But only^[b] in this must the one who boasts boast,
    that he has insight,
and that he knows me,
    that I am Yahweh,
showing loyal love, justice, and righteousness on the earth,
    for in these things I delight,” declares^[c] Yahweh.
