23 This is what the Lord says: “(A)Let no wise man boast of his wisdom, nor let the (B)mighty man boast of his might, nor a (C)rich man boast of his riches; 24 but let the one who boasts (D)boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who (E)exercises [a]mercy, justice, and righteousness on the earth; for I (F)delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

23 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his (B)might,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;

(D)For in these I delight,” says the Lord.
