Intr.: This is what the Lord says:

A. “Let not

1. the wise man boast of his wisdom or

2. the strong man boast of his strength or

3. the rich man boast of his riches,

B. but let him who boasts boast about this:

1. me

a. that he understands and

b. knows me,

2. that I am the Lord, who

a. exercises kindness,

b. justice and

c. righteousness on earth,

End: for in these I delight,” declares the Lord.
