I don't boast


After Jeremiah 9:23-24

I don’t boast in my wisdom
            says the wise man
I don’t boast in my strength
            says the strong man
I don’t boast in my wealth
            says the rich man
I don’t boast in my justice
            says the righteous man
I don’t boast in my cleverness
            says the business man
I don’t boast in my security
            says the safe man
I don’t boast in my appearance
            says the handsome man

I don’t boast
I don’t boast

He asks:

What do you place
            your confidence in
He asks

He’s answered
with silence
