21 “Death has climbed in through our windows
    and has come into our palaces.
Death has come to our children who play in the streets
    and to the young men who meet in the public places.”

22 This is what you should say: “The Lord says,
‘Dead bodies will lie
    in the fields like dung.
Their bodies will lie on the ground like grain a farmer has cut.
    But there will be no one to gather them.’”

23 This is what the Lord says:
“The wise must not brag about their wisdom.
    The strong men must not brag about their strength.
    The rich must not brag about their money.
