- 1 Kings 20:10
Then Ben-hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if enough dust remains of Samaria for each of my men to have a handful.”
Commentary on 1 Kings 20:101 voice
"May the gods do so to me, and more also, etc." [1 Kings 20:10] What Benhadad king of Syria, besieging and beginning to assault Samaria said: 'May the gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough to …

- 2 Kings 18:19
The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?
Commentary on 2 Kings 18:191 voice
As I have already said, Sennacherib is a type of the devil, and this hypothesis is perfectly confirmed by the words that in this passage the Rabshakeh boastfully speaks against God when he makes false promises to the people, trying to take away from [God] …
Ephrem the Syrian· ON THE SECOND BOOK OF KINGS 18:19, 373Patristic
- Psalms 49:6–9
They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
Commentary on Psalms 49:6–91 voice
Even if he seems to be one of the very powerful people in this life, even if he is surrounded with a great number of possessions, these words teach him to descend from such a notion and to humble himself under the mighty hand of God. … Not even the soul is complete in itself for salvation.… Every human soul has bowed down under the evil yoke of slavery imposed by the common enemy of all and, being deprived of the very freedom that it received from the Creator, has been led captive through sin.
Basil of Caesarea· HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 19:3 (PS 49), 379Patristic
- Psalms 52:1
Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.
Commentary on Psalms 52:11 voice
The 33rd Psalm was spoken by David when he "changed his countenance before Abimelech, and he sent him away, and he left." The current Psalm would be the one following that Psalm in historical sequence. For the Scripture says in Kingdoms, "And one of the servants of Saul was there that day." And this indicates the time at which David came into the house of Abimelech and ate the "loaves of offering," receiving them from the high priest.
Eusebius of Caesarea· Commentary on the Psalms, On Psalm 51 (52), 339Patristic
- Psalms 94:4
They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
Commentary on Psalms 94:41 voice
"They will utter and speak iniquity." He speaks of this properly concerning the heretics. "All who work iniquity shall speak." See the sign: he who speaks evil must necessarily do evil. "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." Wherever the conscience is wounded, there sin is easily committed in the mouth.
Jerome· Homily 22, on Psalm 93, 420Patristic
- Proverbs 20:14
“Worthless, worthless!” says the buyer, but on the way out, he gloats.
Commentary on Proverbs 20:141 voice
It is bad, it is bad, says every buyer, etc. Therefore, he who desires to obtain eternal rewards in the heavens must endure what is bad in the present, so that when he departs from the world, he may then glory; clearly perceiving that the …

- Proverbs 25:14
Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.
Commentary on Proverbs 25:141 voice
Humility therefore is the mistress of all virtues, it is the surest foundation of the heavenly building, it is the special and splendid gift of the Saviour. For he can perform all the miracles which Christ wrought, without danger of being puffed up, who follows the gentle Lord not in the grandeur of His miracles, but in the virtues of patience and humility.
John Cassian· CONFERENCE 15:7, 435Patristic
- Proverbs 27:1
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
Commentary on Proverbs 27:11 voice
He that says, "When I am dying I will be baptized, lest I should sin and defile my baptism," is ignorant of God and forgetful of his own nature. For "do not delay to turn to the Lord, for you do not know what the next day will bring forth." Baptize also your infants, and bring them up in the nurture and admonition of God. For he says, "Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not." .

- Isaiah 10:8–15
“Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.
Commentary on Isaiah 10:8–151 voice
(Verse 5 and following) Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hands is my fury. I will send him against a deceitful nation, and I will command him against the people of my wrath, to take the spoil and seize the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. But he does not understand this, and his heart does not take it to heart, but his purpose is to destroy and cut off nations. For my princes are not also kings? Is not Charcamis like Chalanno, and Arphad like Emath?
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Isaiah 10:15
Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!
- Jeremiah 9:23
This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the wealthy man in his riches.
- Luke 10:17
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your name.”
- Romans 1:30
slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.
- Romans 3:1–31
What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
Commentary on Romans 3:1–311 voice
After showing that Judaism, which involved receiving the law and circumcision, is not sufficient for salvation without the law's observance, through which the gentile without external Judaism and circumcision obtains the fruit of each, he now objects to his own doctrine: first, he presents the …
