The Boasting & Bragging Plague As Stated In The Bible/وباء التباهي والتفاخرانجيلياً Elias Bejjani/February 25/2022
We witness every day in our life certain disgusting evil conducts exhibited by superficial and materialistic people through boasting and bragging, people who are conceited and pompous.
Such conducts make those people look so stupid and so ignorant. They isolate themselves and inspire frustration and anger among those who deal with them, be family members or acquaintances. As Christians are we are expected or allowed to brag and boast and act with superiority?
Of course not, because the bible instructs us to be modest, humble meek and loving. Meanwhile God punishes the braggers and conceited as Isaiah states.
Below seven verses from the Holy Bible that condemns Bragging Isaiah/10:15 Should an axe brag against him who chops with it? Should a saw exalt itself above him who saws with it? As if a rod should lift those who lift it up, or as if a staff should lift up someone who is not wood.
Isaiah/10:16 Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.
Isaiah/10:17 The light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
Isaiah/10:18 He will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body. It will be as when a standard bearer faints.
Isaiah/10:19 The remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child could write their number.
Isaiah/10:33-34: “Behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
Isaiah/10:34: He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One..
