And let your ear receive the word of His mouth;
Teach your daughters wailing,
And everyone her neighbor a lamentation.
Has entered our palaces,
To kill off athe children— no longer to be outside!
And the young men—1 no longer on the streets!
‘Even the carcasses of men shall fall aas refuse on the open field,
Like cuttings after the harvester,
And no one shall gather them.’ ”
a“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his bmight,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness,1 judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
bFor in these I delight,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:22
saith the Lord—continuing the thread of discourse from Jeremiah 9:20.
dung— (Jeremiah 8:2).
handful . . . none . . . gather them—implying that the handful has been so trodden as to be not worth even the poor gleaner's effort to gather it. Or the Eastern custom may be referred to: the reaper cuts the grain and is followed by another who gathers it. This grain shall not be worth gathering. How galling to the pride of the Jews to hear that so shall their carcasses be trodden contemptuously under foot!
