'Boasts' in the Bible
“Shall your boasts silence men?And shall you scoff and none rebuke?
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire,And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.
“Bad, bad,” says the buyer,But when he goes his way, then he boasts.
Like clouds and wind without rainIs a man who boasts of his gifts falsely.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride;Even of his arrogance, pride, and fury;His idle boasts are false.
but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.
“I know his fury,” declares the Lord,“But it is futile;His idle boasts have accomplished nothing.
While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.
and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates.
so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!
