Jeremiah 9:24

Jeremiah 9:24

22 Speak, “Thus says the Lord:
‘Even the carcasses of men shall fall ^aas refuse on the open field,
Like cuttings after the harvester,
And no one shall gather them.’ ”

23 Thus says the Lord:
^a“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his ^bmight,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;

24 But ^alet him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness,¹ judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
^bFor in these I delight,” says the Lord.

25 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “that ^aI will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised—

26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the people of Ammon, Moab, and all who are in the ^afarthest corners, who dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are ^buncircumcised in the heart.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 9:23

Jeremiah 9:25 >>

Knoweth - Whether we make any curious distinction between understanding God, as if that be more speculative, whereby we rightly apprehend his nature; and knowing God, as if that be more practical, as directing the conversation, we need not here enquire; yet certainly both center in this, that we so know and understand God as to trust in him, and depend on him alone in all conditions. Exercise - Kindness, as it relates to his own people; judgment, in punishing the wicked; righteousness, as he deals justly and uprightly with both.
