“Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:”
The folly of boasting: 'This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches."' This verse prohibits boasting in wisdom, strength, or riches—the typical sources of human confidence. The prohibition suggests that these are false sources of security. Theologically, this verse indicates that the coming judgment will render all human advantages irrelevant; wisdom, strength, and wealth will not protect.
