Jeremian 9:23-24 Raamattu 1933/38 23 Näin sanoo Herra: Älköön viisas kerskatko viisaudestansa, älköön väkevä kerskatko väkevyydestänsä, älköön rikas kerskatko rikkaudestansa;24 vaan joka kerskaa, kerskatkoon siitä, että hän on ymmärtäväinen ja tuntee minut: että minä, Herra, teen laupeuden, oikeuden ja vanhurskauden maan päällä. Sillä senkaltaisiin minä mielistyn, sanoo Herra.

 Jeremiah 9:23-24 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.

Jeremiah 9:23-24 New Living Translation

23 This is what the Lord says:

“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom,

    or the powerful boast in their power,

    or the rich boast in their riches.

24 But those who wish to boast

    should boast in this alone:

that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord

    who demonstrates unfailing love

    and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,

and that I delight in these things.

    I, the Lord, have spoken!
