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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against glorying in wisdom, might, or riches, urging believers to glory in knowing God instead (Jeremiah 9:23-24).

In Jeremiah 9:23-24, the Lord expressly instructs us not to glory in our wisdom, strength, or wealth. This admonition reflects the human tendency to elevate oneself above others based on these attributes. The rich, wise, and mighty are not sources of true glory; instead, the Lord emphasizes that true glory lies in understanding and knowing Him. It is a reminder of the transient nature of worldly accomplishments, which cannot compare to the eternal value of a relationship with God. As such, to glory in God is to recognize and celebrate His character and actions in our lives.
