"A wise man should not be proud because he is wise"

or the warrior in his might

The understood verb may be supplied. AT: "or let the warrior take pride in his might" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)

Do not let the wealthy man take pride in his riches

"A rich man should not be proud because he is rich"

has insight and knows me

"understands who I am and knows me." Both of these phrases have similar meanings. They emphasize people knowing who Yahweh is and understanding who he is. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)

For I am Yahweh

This refers to people knowing Yahweh and his ways. AT: "Because people should understand that I am Yahweh" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

For it is in these that I take pleasure

The word "these" refers to covenant loyalty, justice, and righteousness.

this is Yahweh's declaration
