Jeremiah

“ Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom; let not the mighty man glory in his might; let not the rich man glory in his riches. 24Now if he does, in this let him who glories glory that he understands and knows me. ”

“ Chapter 9 1Who will give water to my head, and to my eyes a well of tears, so I can weep day and night for the slain men of the daughter of my people? 2Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging-place of travellers, so I can forsake my people and go away from them? For they are all adulterers, and a band of lawbreakers. 3And they bend out their tongue like a bow for lying and not truth. They are strengthened in earth, for they went out from bad to worse [1] , and they didn't know me, says the Lord. ”
