As Jeremiah calls out God’s judgment on the people of Judah he corrects them regarding their confident talk. In Jeremiah 9:23-24 God warns them not to boast regarding their wisdom, their power, or their riches. Any boasting should be that they know the LORD. That they understand that God acts in faithfulness, fairness, and justice. Words that sound like they were foundational for the apostle Paul when he wrote in the 10th chapter of the 2nd letter to the Corinthians (2 Cor 10:17). Such a practice of boasting of what the Lord has done might be a really good language to adopt.
