Jeremiah 9:23-24
“Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.”
Jeremiah, a prophet in Judah during the late 7th and early 6th centuries BCE, delivered messages of warning and judgment to a nation facing imminent destruction. This passage comes amidst a series of laments and pronouncements against the people's misplaced trust in their own achievements rather than in God.
What does it mean to know Yahweh in a way that involves practicing loving kindness, justice, and righteousness?
