Glory Only in the Lord
26 For [a]you see your calling, brethren, (A)that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many [b]noble, are called. 27 But (B)God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the [c]base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and (C)righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, (D)“He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, (C)Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man. 12 Perhaps my father will (D)feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring (E)a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
