Jeremiah 9:23-24
New International Version
23 This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom(A)
or the strong boast of their strength(B)
or the rich boast of their riches,(C)
24 but let the one who boasts boast(D) about this:
that they have the understanding to know(E) me,
that I am the Lord,(F) who exercises kindness,(G)
justice and righteousness(H) on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.

Lexham English Bible
The Things in Which Yahweh Delights
23 Thus says Yahweh,
“The wise man must not boast in his wisdom,
and the warrior must not boast in his might,
the wealthy man must not boast in his wealth.
24 But only[a] in this must the one who boasts boast,
that he has insight,
and that he knows me,
that I am Yahweh,
showing loyal love, justice, and righteousness on the earth,
for in these things I delight,” declares[b] Yahweh.
