Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

9:23 glory in his wisdom. This divine exhortation through Jeremiah is echoed by the Apostle Paul: “Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called” (I Corinthians 1:26). Any wisdom, strength, or position we might possess or acquire has come from God, and He should receive the glory.
