²³ This is what the Lord says:

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
    or the strong boast of their strength
    or the rich boast of their riches,
²⁴ but let the one who boasts boast about this:
    that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
    justice and righteousness on earth,
    for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord. (Jer. 8)

In general we don't like people who boast directly about themselves or indirectly about their children, their friends, etc.  Does that mean that we, Christians, should not boast at all? There is only only boast which is acceptable, boasting in the Lord. In 2 Corinthians 10:17 we read, "But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.""

Please read Jeremiah 8-10.

May the Lord richly bless you!
