Two From the Prophets

These are my two favorite short passages of all time. They both are from major prophets:

You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Isaiah 26:3


Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord."
Jeremiah 9:23-24
