733 B

These are the words of Yahweh.

Do not let the wise man take pride in his wisdom

"A wise man should not be proud because he is wise"

Do not let the wealthy man take pride in his riches

"A rich man should not be proud because he is rich"

that he has insight and knows me

"that he understands who I am and lives in a way that is pleasing to me"

For I am Yahweh

AT: "Because people should understand that I am Yahweh." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

For it is in these that I take pleasure

"And it is pleasing to me when people act with covenant loyalty, justice and righteousness"

This is Yahweh's declaration

See how you translated this in Jeremiah 1:7.
