Jeremiah 9:22-24

New International Version - UK

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

‘Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
    or the strong boast of their strength
    or the rich boast of their riches,
²⁴ but let the one who boasts boast about this:
    that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
    justice and righteousness on earth,
    for in these I delight,’
declares the Lord.
