Jeremiah 9:23

“Lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom; God will drive him away, not man.’

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.

There is no wisdom, there is no discernment And there is no counsel against Yahweh.

“Then they will be dismayed and ashamed because of Ethiopia their hope and Egypt their boast.

“For because of your trust in your own works and treasures, Even you yourself will be captured; And Chemosh will go off into exile Together with his priests and his princes.

“How boastful you are about the valleys! Your valley is flowing away, O faithless daughter Who trusts in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come against me?’

“So flight will perish from the swift, And the strong will not instill his power with courage, Nor will the mighty man make his life escape.

so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

More than that, I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
