The LORD says, ‘Wise people should not be proud of their wisdom. Powerful people should not be proud of their power. And rich people should not be proud that they are rich. If they want to be proud about something, they should be proud that they know me. They should boast that they understand who I am. I am the LORD. I am faithful in my love for my people. I always do what is right and fair. It makes me happy when people live in that way too.’

The LORD answered, ‘It is because my people have not accepted the laws that I gave to them. They have not obeyed me. They have not lived in the way that I told them to live. Instead, they have done whatever they wanted to do. They have served the gods of Baal, as their ancestors taught them to do.’
