What does the Bible say about glorying in wisdom and riches?

Answered in 1 source

Jeremiah 9:23-24 teaches that we should not glory in our wisdom, might, or riches, but rather in our understanding of God.

In Jeremiah 9:23-24, the Lord instructs us not to glory in human achievements or possessions, such as wisdom, might, or wealth. These attributes can lead to pride and self-sufficiency, diverting our attention from God's sovereignty. Instead, the passage emphasizes that true glory comes from understanding and knowing God, who exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness on the earth. This understanding is a profound revelation that points us away from ourselves and directs all praise toward God, recognizing that any wisdom, strength, or wealth we possess is given by Him.
