ISB ~ 1 Corinthians 1 v31

Let him who boasts:A paraphrase of the Greek version of Jer 9:24.

• Jeremiah challenged the wise, mighty, and rich of Israel to stop boasting about their worldly advantages and to start giving the glory to Yahweh (Jer 9:23). Paul has this passage in mind when he makes the same appeal to the Corinthians. Although few of them were “wise”, “powerful”, and “noble” in the world’s eyes (1 Cor 1:26), they were boasting of their spiritual gifts without giving due credit to the Lord (4:7).
