Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches.
Jeremiah 9:23
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
Psalm 20:7 (ESV)
|
22
Speak, “Thus declares the Lord: ‘The dead bodies of men shall fall like dung upon the open field, like sheaves after the reaper, and none shall gather them.’” |
| 23 Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, |
|
24
but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.” |
|
6
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. |
|
7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. |
|
8
They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. |
