Jeremiah 9:22-24

New Century Version

‘The dead bodies of people will lie
    in the open field like dung.
They will lie like grain a farmer has cut,
    but there will be no one to gather them.’”

“The wise must not brag about their wisdom.
    The strong must not brag about their strength.
    The rich must not brag about their money.
²⁴ But if people want to brag, let them brag
    that they understand and know me.
Let them brag that I am the Lord,
    and that I am kind and fair,
    and that I do things that are right on earth.
This kind of bragging pleases me,” says the Lord.
