What does the Bible say about boasting in wisdom, might, and riches?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against boasting in wisdom, strength, and riches, urging us to glory in knowing God instead.

In Jeremiah 9:23-24, the Lord instructs us not to boast in our wisdom, might, or riches. This instruction highlights the human tendency to find glory in personal achievements and material possessions, which ultimately lead us away from true understanding. Instead, we are told that our true glory should come from knowing and understanding God, who embodies all wisdom and might. By recognizing that our abilities and possessions are gifts from God, we shift our focus away from self-glorification to glorifying Him, who is the ultimate source of all that is good.
