Jeremiah 9:22-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 Speak, “Thus says the Lord,
‘The corpses of men will fall (A)like dung on the open field,
And like the sheaf after the reaper,
But no one will gather them.’”
23 Thus says the Lord, “(B)Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the (C)mighty man boast of his might, let not a (D)rich man boast of his riches; 24 but let him who boasts (E)boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who (F)exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I (G)delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:22-24
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.
