Bragging About God: Jeremiah 9:23-26

²³ This is what the Lord says:
“The wise must not brag about their wisdom.
    The strong must not brag about their strength.
    The rich must not brag about their money.
²⁴ But if people want to brag, let them brag
    that they understand and know me.
Let them brag that I am the Lord,
    and that I am kind and fair,
    and that I do things that are right on earth.
This kind of bragging pleases me,” says the Lord.

²⁵ The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will punish all those who are circumcised only in the flesh: ²⁶ the people of Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and the desert people who cut their hair short. The men in all those countries are not circumcised. And the whole family of Israel does not give itself to serving me.”
