21. Death has climbed through our windows;it has entered our fortressesto eliminate children from the streets,the youth from the squares.
22. Declare what the Lord says:Dead bodies will lielike dung on the fields,like bundles of grain after the harvest,with no one to pick them up.
23. The Lord proclaims:the learned should not boast of their knowledge,nor warriors boast of their might,nor the rich boast of their wealth.
