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.’ ”

Let not the mighty man glory in his bmight,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;

Let not the mighty man glory in his bmight,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
24 But alet him who glories glory in this,
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.
