Jeremiah 7-9

What does God tell his prophet that he wants his people to do to please his? In 9:23-24 he tells them to stop boasting in the things they have accumulated: wisdom, strength, or wealth. They should boast about the depth of their relationship with God. When they understand and act in line with God's faithfulness then their lives will be pleasing to God. I wonder if this is the passage Paul had in mind when he spoke about boasting in 2 Corinthians 13?
