What does the Bible say about boasting in men?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns against boasting in men, emphasizing that we should only glory in the Lord.

The Scriptures instruct us not to glory in man's wisdom, strength, or riches, as highlighted in Jeremiah 9:23-24, which states that true glory comes from understanding and knowing God. When we reflect on the greatness of God, any boasting in human accomplishments pales in comparison. The Apostle Paul reinforces this concept in 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, reminding us that God chose the foolish and weak things of the world to shame the wise and strong, so that no flesh should glory in His presence. Therefore, any achievements we might have should lead us to give glory to God, the source of all power and authority.
