20. Yet hear the word of the Lord, O you women,and let your ear receive the word of His mouth;and teach your daughters wailing,and everyone her neighbor a lamentation.
21. “For death has come up into our windows;and has entered our palaces,to cut off the children from the streets,and the young men from the squares.”
22. Speak, Thus says the Lord: “The carcasses of men shall fallas dung upon the open field,and as the sheaf after the harvester,and no one shall gather them.”
23. Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,and let not the mighty man glory in his might,let not the rich man glory in his riches;
24. but let him who glories glory in this,that he understands and knows Me,that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness,justice, and righteousness in the earth.For in these things I delight,says the Lord.
25. The days are surely coming, says the Lord, that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised—
26. Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who dwell in the wilderness who clip the hair on their temples; for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.
