This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man

boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of

his strength or the rich man boast of his riches,

but let him who boasts boast about this: that he

understands and knows me, that I am the LORD,

who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness

on earth, for in these I delight," declares the

LORD. --Jeremiah 9:23,24
