Jeremiah 9:23-24
True wisdom is found not in human achievement but in knowing the character and ways of the Lord.
23 Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.
True wisdom is found not in human achievement but in knowing the character and ways of the LORD.
To redefine true boasting by directing the people away from pride in wisdom, strength, or wealth and toward the knowledge of the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness.
Let the One Who Boasts Boast in Knowing the LORD
Judah's falsehood, stubbornness, and uncircumcised heart bring devastating judgment, but the LORD reveals that true life is found in knowing him as the God who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness.
