Jeremiah 9:22-24
New King James Version
Jeremiah 9:22-24
New King James Version
22 Speak, “Thus says the Lord:
‘Even the carcasses of men shall fall (A)as refuse on the open field,
Like cuttings after the harvester,
And no one shall gather them.’ ”
23 Thus says the Lord:
(B)“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his (C)might,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
24 But (D)let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, [a]judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
(E)For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

New International Version
22 Say, “This is what the Lord declares:
“‘Dead bodies will lie
like dung(A) on the open field,
like cut grain behind the reaper,
with no one to gather them.’”
23 This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom(B)
or the strong boast of their strength(C)
or the rich boast of their riches,(D)
24 but let the one who boasts boast(E) about this:
that they have the understanding to know(F) me,
that I am the Lord,(G) who exercises kindness,(H)
justice and righteousness(I) on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.
