'Boasts' in the Bible
for [the] wicked boasts about the desire of his {heart}, and [the] one greedy for gain curses [and] treats Yahweh with contempt.
May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, [the] tongue speaking great boasts--
[Like] clouds and wind when there is no rain, [so too is] a man who boasts in a gift of deception.
{But only} in this must the one who boasts boast, [that] he has insight, and [that] he knows me, that I [am] Yahweh, showing loyal love, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for in these [things] I delight," {declares} Yahweh.
I have heard the reproaches of Moab and the scorning of the {Ammonites}, [with] which they have taunted my nation and made boasts against their territory.
so that, just as it is written, "The one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."
But "the one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."
So also the tongue is a small member [of the body] and boasts great [things]. Behold how small a fire sets ablaze how great a forest!
