John 3:16

"Let not the wise man boast of
his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the
rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast
about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the
LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on
earth, for in these I delight," says the LORD.

Jeremiah 9:23,24  NIV

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men
after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound
the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to
confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the
world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and
things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That
no flesh should glory in his presence.

1 Corinthians 1:26-29   KJV

But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified
to me, and I to the world.
