New International Version (NIV)

22Say, “This is what the Lord declares:

“ ‘Dead bodies will lie

like dung on the open field,

like cut grain behind the reaper,

with no one to gather them.’ ”

22Speak, “This is what the Lord says:

‘The corpses of people will fall like dung on the open field,

And like the sheaf after the reaper,

But no one will gather them.’ ”

22Speak, “Thus says the Lord,

‘The corpses of men will fall like dung on the open field,

And like the sheaf after the reaper,

But no one will gather them.’ ”

22Speak, “Thus says the Lord,

‘The dead bodies of men will fall like dung on the open field,

And like sheaves [of grain] behind the reaper,

And no one will gather them.’ ” [Jer 8:2]

22Declare that this is what the Lord says:

“The corpses of men will fall like dung

upon the open field,

like newly cut grain behind the reaper,

with no one to gather it.”

22Say, “The Lord announces,

“ ‘Dead bodies will be like human waste

lying in the open fields.

They will lie there like grain

that is cut down at harvest time.

No one will gather them up.’ ”
